“Navigating Change for Success” is a collaborative white paper Don Johnston and Cindy Weeks co-authored that was presented at the MEMO conference in Ontario Canada in 2010.

Organizations that are intentionally linked to their ecosphere are in a position to co-create a future in which they can survive, and thrive. This is a deeper look at adaptive change in a VUCA world, including engagement strategies for each dynamic.
