Mapping Dialogue

A closer look at transformative dialogue tools and processes for social change

Pioneers of Change have produced a research study profiling dialogue tools and processes for social change.

The context of the project may sound very specific, but the outcome is a brilliant resource for any person facilitating processes of exchange, dialogue and discussion anywhere in the world!

The study was commissioned by the German Technical Cooperation Organisation (GTZ) in support to the HIV/AIDS Programme of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

The crux with bureaucracies

We digged deep in the past of humanity to re-introduce some crucial thinking on bureaucracies. Join us to look at the principles of Peter and Dilbert and the iron law of oligarchy.

Not concerned by bureaucracies you say? You'll be happy to now that these theories apply not only to public administrations, but as well to business and, yes, even to the world of civil society and our good old NGOs.
