About the Collaborative Change Cycle
The Collaborative Change Cycle was developed by Collaboration for Impact to provide a means to navigate thinking and practice for tackling complex social change. The Change Cycle emerges over five interlinked phases each featuring critical enabling conditions, expertise and skills. We know it’s not the only way to conceptualise change, but we hope it is a user-friendly way for you to make progress.
