          • Work with respect and curiosity rather than judgment.<\/li>\n
          • Balance sustainability with social impact rather than just looking at one or the other.<\/li>\n
          • Embrace the unfamiliarity of change rather than blocking opportunities for innovation.<\/li>\n
          • Hold the discomfort of deep change rather than giving priority to comfort and stability.<\/li>\n
          • Work in transparency rather than in silos.<\/li>\n
          • Work with a mindset for learning and sharing rather than absolute truths.<\/li>\n
          • Co-creation is the way transformative change occurs rather than silos or hierarchies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1683","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTheory of Change - The Pond-Deshpande Centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Pond-Deshpande builds trusted relationships among people working in society's deepest challenges.
