Effective change begins at the core
Change processes often fail because they address symptoms instead of the cause. Presencing offers an innovative method that links inner development to system-wide change through seven concrete practices, designed for this time.
This handbook is written by Otto Scharmer, senior lecturer at MIT and creator of Theory U, and Katrin Kaufer, MIT researcher and co-founder of the Presencing Institute. It is based on more than twenty years of international experience with the Theory U framework, which is applied worldwide in climate action, finance, education, and social innovation.
