Making change happen across a system of different organisations & groups is different to managing change within a single organisation. @CollaborateCIC is a great source for approaches to system change. They use the term "system activist" rather than "system leader", as mobilising for change in a system doesn't always need formal power. They say that becoming a system activist requires a fundamental change in the way we think & feel about our work & our own role in it. They suggest seven shifts that system activists make:
1) From Organisations to Outcomes: They know that collaboration beyond the boundaries of their role/organisation is needed to improve outcomes.
2) From Management to Mobilisation: They recognise that they can't rely only on the formal authority of their role & need to build informal authority to influence & generate action by others.
3) From Me to We: They know that their perspective on the challenge & its possible solutions, is partial & limited.
4) From Expert to Explorer: They navigate through uncertainty & adopt a learning approach, guiding others through that.
5) From Delivery to Co-creation: They recognise that disagreement is inevitable & have the ability to harness it productively; they distribute power & put people with lived experience at the heart of decision-making.
6) From Expectations to Agency: They recognise that the patterns, rules & behaviours that have sustained the systems’ old ways of functioning may also need to change.
7) From Head to Heart: System activists recognise that they are a part of the system they are trying to change & they need to change as much as everyone else.
