Systemic change is an interesting metaphor. It shows how a small change can trigger a series of other small ones that eventually ends with a big bang. It is not only difficult, it is a really complex process. Where do you begin? In the end going to start. Or the other way around? How will you get into the big change? Use small and incremental (almost unrecognizable) changes first and then lead to the big ones. How do you select those small changes? Which is the smallest change that can trigger the big one? What would connect one small change to the rest? What connectors will you use? What are the triggers and receptors for those connectors? Then, there is the timing. How long a time in-between the incremental changes would you need to trigger the next wave of incremental changes? Will they all connect as if they were orchestrated? Very complex indeed! Yet, many change agents, development facilitators and leaders casually suggest actions that lead to systemic changes! Do they really understand what they say as an electrical engineer would?

I’m impressed! After reading your post I can tell you are well-informed about your writing. If only I had your writing ability. I look forward to more updates and will be returning.Cheers!
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in our neighborhood. Your blog provided us with valuable information to help us get started|.You have done a great job!
I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
Thank you for such a fantastic blog. Where else could anyone get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a presentation that I am presently working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.
Great stuff from you, man. Ive read your stuff before and youre just too awesome. I love what youve got here, love what youre saying and the way you say it. You make it entertaining and you still manage to keep it smart. I cant wait to read more from you. This is really a great blog.
It does seem that everybody is into this kind of stuff lately. Don’t really understand it though, but thanks for trying to explain it. Appreciate you shedding light into this matter. Keep it up
Thank you for another informative blog. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
I’m impressed! After reading your post I can tell you are well-informed about your writing. If only I had your writing ability. I look forward to more updates and will be returning.Cheers!
Hey – nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
All I can say is keep it up. This weblog is really necessary in a time when every person just really wants to speak about how a lot of folks someones cheated on their wife with. I imply, thanks for bringing intelligence back to the internet, its been sorely missed. Great stuff. Please maintain it coming!
I am happy to find so many useful information here in the post, we need develop more strategies in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it.I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
