PGCert Systems Change: Collaborative Communities

Course Overview

This program draws on the experience of people who are securing change in communities through collaborative methods and relationships. Those who do this from an institutional perspective usually recognize this as a leadership role, but in communities, the language of leadership is often alien. In this emerging context, leaders focus on the collective rather than the individual, using evidence to inform decision-making, securing collective responsibility against a shared purpose, and taking an asset-based approach to emergent change. These leaders work as collaborators and partners, leading highly autonomous accountable teams that develop emergent responses to complex environments. Students on the PGCert Systems Change are able to progress onto the Master Leading Social Change
