Systems change
How do we think and work more as a system? How do we begin to address the causes and not just the symptoms? NPC’s blog on understanding systems change, our guide to systems change, and our systems practice toolkit are great places to start. Whatever challenges you face, our resources, training, and consultancy support can help you adopt a systems change approach.
