Introduction
Hosted by the School of System Change in 2024, the Constellating Change learning and practice series journeyed deep into the dynamics of organising for systems change.
Over six themed sessions, we invited 12 practitioners and over 50 participants to explore some of the dominant patterns and structures that inform how we work, collaborate and create the infrastructure for change.
Spotlighting our inquiries
Anna Birney, CEO (Chief Enabling/Evolving Officer) at the School of System Change, introduces this collection of writing by sharing some of the rich and evocative parallels that constellations offer to systems change work.
