Shell – Powering Progress Resources
“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 creative 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.
Follow your curiosity
We know that each person in the PP team brings with them a huge range of experience – from OD to Strategy, from Brand and Purpose to Leadership.
We invite you to explore and follow your interest.

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.
