Change is beautiful. Change is not easy. Changing your organization to adopt Creative Problem Solving or just a different approach to problem solving is possible and it starts with you. Learn how to create a movement to catalyze change in your organization or network by mobilizing people around a shared purpose. Big change starts small, and lasting change is within your reach.
Deborah Madelaine and Reid Rousseau from the User Centricity team at Mars will guide you through starting your own movement. In just 24 months, the UC team at Mars has created a movement of 14,000 Mars Associates that promote user centricity and Creative Problem Solving. You’ll learn how to mobilize people, take action with small and tangible progress and redesign the conditions that support the change in your organization.
