E. 247: Adam Kahane - On Everyday Habits For Transforming Systems

The world does not seem to be doing particularly well at the moment. Much needs to change. Most conversations focus on what should change and how. This episode asks a different, and more refreshing, question: 👉 What can we do every day to help make change happen? To explore this, I am joined by Adam Kahane, a leading organiser, designer and facilitator of processes that bring business, government and civil society together to address seemingly intractable problems. Adam was formerly Head of Social, Political, Economic and Technological Scenarios at Shell, and later co-founded the social enterprise Reos Partners. His latest book, Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems: The Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement, offers a practical guide to creating meaningful change. In this conversation, we discuss what these habits are, how to practise them, and why they matter. It is a refreshing, empowering and enjoyable discussion about the everyday actions that can transform the systems around us.
