“It is a pivotal time. We need to be change-makers – and very capable ones at that.” • “How can we be more than just anxious critics of the status quo or wishful thinkers about a better future, and become actual and effective agents for large-scale transformation?” “We believed that ways of seeing could change ways of doing.” Getting to Maybe: How the World is Changed. Westley, Zimmerman & Patton. (2006).
