5 steps to make change happen

A guide by the Global Resilience Partnership outlining five conceptual steps to foster resilience and implement systemic change, emphasizing problem understanding, learning from failure, and the distinction between innovation and invention.

• The Global Resilience Partnership defines resilience as the capacity to handle change and continue developing, noting that it involves the interplay between people, communities, ecosystems, and economies rather than a single group or system.
• The guide proposes five steps to promote resilience: understanding the problem from all angles to ensure solutions fit; viewing failure as an opportunity for growth to build trust with stakeholders; distinguishing between the 'idea' (invention) and the process of creating value (innovation); balancing reactive and reflective actions; and understanding one's role and engagement with others in the change process.
