Societal Learning And Change
Steve Waddell
The world faces unprecedented challenges that will require business, government
and civil society to work and learn together in ways that have never been needed
in the past. This demands bridging gulfs of misunderstanding and distrust that
have build up over generations. No one knows how to do this, but a few brave
explorers like Steve Waddell are showing the way. Societal Learning and Change
provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of the motivations,
processes, pitfalls and possibilities for such change.
