Samenvatting:

Transitions are urgently needed to create a sustainable and just society. But anyone working on system change knows how difficult change can be. Progress is slow, resistance is strong, and systems often fall back into old patterns. The good news: meaningful change is possible. This book shows how designers and public‑sector innovators achieve results that truly matter. Drawing on extensive experience, André Schaminée demonstrates how a design‑led approach can help navigate complexity, embrace the human factor, and enable organizations to build the capacity needed to realize deep change. It is widely acknowledged that organizations must change as well—in this book, Schaminée shows how to tackle that challenge. Written in an accessible style, the book weaves together personal stories with case studies and insights from transition studies, public administration, and design. It offers both inspiration and practical tools for everyone working toward a more sustainable and just future.
