"We are at the beginning of the sustainability era. The biggest challenge of our generation is to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. For this we must to be willing to understand and change the root causes that create these challenges in the first place. The system itself needs to change. But how to do that? This ground-breaking book Changing the Game reveals the missing insights and strategies to actually achieve systems change. The authors Lucas Simons and André Nijhof bring decades of real life and academic experience and state that the most of the sustainability challenges are actually caused by the same system failures, every time. Therefore the way to accelerate and manage systems change is also similar every time. If you know how to look and how to act. The theory of sustainable market transformation and system change is described in a compelling and easy to understand eight steps approach and applied in eight different sectors. The authors, together with respected sector experts, describe the drivers, triggers, dominant thinking in each of these sectors and the needed strategies to move towards higher levels of sustainability.
