Leading by Convening Book

Sustainable change depends on having people with the problem internalize the change. Heifetz and Linsky, 2002

The IDEA Partners know the value of this statement. In years of bringing people together, we have focused on both the technical and the human side of change. The work of many researchers have guided us, especially the common sense approach of Heifetz and Lipsky. You will find their influence throughout our site. Visit the People to People Collection to learn more about the human side of change and learn how we have operationalized it in our Blueprint: The Partnership Way.
