GIAA – Leading generative change

“How do you change the world?  One room at a time.  Which room?  The one you’re in.”

Peter Block

This set of resources is offered to stimulate ideas, and to support the change process.

Drawing on leading-edge materials, it aims to:

  • Supplement your own wisdom and knowledge, with what might be (for some) new ideas, and (for others) will confirm or challenge existing ideas.
  • Stimulate design thinking.
  • Help us to work together on the change planning ahead.

Follow your curiosity

We know that each person in the GIAA Change Team(s) brings with them a huge range of experience – from complex project management to expert understanding of the audit world.

We invite you to explore and follow your interest as you develop new areas of understanding about leading generative change.

Each package offers a mix videos to watch, with material to read developed by our consultants over the years.  You will also find a curated set of hotlinks to the best external materials, books, papers and videos, recommended by your collaboration partner.
