How do systems change?

We all know change is possible, but how do we effect change at the systems level? How do we sustain change over time? Can change grow and spread? How do we know a system is truly changing? These are the questions that practitioners and researchers at MIT and around the globe are asking. 

How do we cultivate the conditions for meaningful systems change?
