Welcome to Enablers of Change! We’ll share our thoughts about different topics around enabling change. We’ll focus mainly on agricultural industries and regional communities, but we’re always curious about what’s happening in other fields of study too.
We’ll talk about different approaches, tools and techniques. We will mainly refer to evidence-based approaches. Some will have passed the test of time and be what we’d call classics. Others will be out-of-the-box ideas that we think are worth trying. We’ll also have some myth buster sessions, where we’ll test to see whether some commonly held beliefs are actually true.
