Responding to the 21st century’s enormous global challenges and realizing its unsurpassed opportunities require new ways of acting and organizing. For the past 30 years I have been supporting this with organizational, network, and societal change and development. I do this through consultations, education, research, and personal leadership. For the last 15 years I have focused largely on multi-stakeholder global change networks (Global Action Networks) and complex change.

I have dozens of publications, including the books Societal Learning and Change: Innovation with Multi-Stakeholder Strategies (2005); Global Action Networks: Creating our future together (2011); and Change for the Audacious: A doers' guide. I was lead editor of a June 2015 special issue of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship on the topic of Large Systems Change. I have a Ph.D. in sociology and an MBA, and am a Canadian-American living in Boston.
