Marc Pierson's My Focus for Change is neighborhood self-change.
My approach to change moves at the speed of conversation and shared experience.
My theory of change is nuanced and informed by the situation. Situational awareness is required and that often means that no expert, no one in too big a hurry, no one wanting to make unfair profit from the labor of others can lead change if that change is expected to be civil, ethical, and good for future generations.
# Change experienced as:
**Voluntary** Mostly unpaid
**Open** Open source tools, methods, style and behavior
**Local** Homestead, neighborhood, watershed
**Slow** Patient, observant, curious
**Conversational** Narrative, understanding through personal stories. Identify missing conversations and facilitating their telling.
**Visual** Diagrams, models, pictures, photos, maps...
**Resilient** (rather antifragile 
)
Because of the interaction among the above aspects.
Committed
Grounded
Culturally embedded

Pitfalls
I am not particularly involved in improving existing corporations and governments except as they can be influenced by civil society.
We must avoid trying to force systems to last too long or make too much profit. We would do well to mimic biology more and sociopaths less.
> I see us placing aging and ailing institutions on life support. The cost of that support depletes the resources needed for rejuvenation and renewal. The great benefit of renewal is that it co-evolves from within the current context. It is this new and current context for which the old institutions are no longer fit. Their adaptation rate and style have not and cannot keep up with the rate of change in context.
