The social sector has generally been seen to be behind the curve in the areas of management, governance and innovation. Fast-changing social context is contributing to the demands for change. Many players in the social ecosystem are rising to the challenge with emerging social models, enlightened frameworks and innovative approaches that hold great promise for the sector. Many long-held assumptions regarding social progress are challenged. The World That Changes The World rides on these challenges by providing a framework within which to understand the social sector while charting the forces of change and future scenarios for it.

This unique book brings together 21 international authors—thought leaders, captains of industry, and experts in their fields—to share their perspectives
on, and insights into, the various facets of the social ecosystem, its change drivers, and its macro-trends.
