The shared stories, beliefs, and assumptions that shape how people interpret and respond to change.
Recurring dynamics that shape how people respond to change. They aren't isolated problems, they're recurring patterns of behaviour with no single fix. The biggest change challenges are not problems to solve but patterns to shift.
