Session 2 of 2: Scaling the summit of change

16 July 2026 09:00 – 10:15 UTC (10:00 – 11:15 UK time)

Facilitated with Caroline Nyamu

Using a case study methodology we will:

  • Learn about the risks of moving directly from organisational diagnosis to planning for change
  • Find out more about the emotional (and some would say spiritual) dimensions of change
  • Discuss some methods and tools that others have found helpful in ‘scaling the summit’
  • Apply these examples and ideas to your own consultancy practice
I found the first session really useful and thought provoking. As a consultant, it’s always helpful to be able to step back from your work and reflect on your own practice and this was an ideal opportunity to do so and hear how others are dealing with similar situations and challenges.

About INTRAC practitioner classes

Civil society practitioners need learning opportunities that are timely, relevant and manageable within busy schedules. INTRAC’s new practitioner classes offer just that – practical sessions designed to strengthen your knowledge and skills, while connecting you with peers across the globe.

These short classes are aimed at busy professionals and draw on the expertise of our global network of ethical and values-driven consultants. Topics are identified by and for those supporting civil society. Sessions are designed to provide learning and discussion rooted in the real technical and practical challenges faced by professionals in the sector. These are not lectures, but opportunities to share experiences, reflect on challenges, and build practical knowledge together.  

Each class:  

  • Is led by an experienced consultant from INTRAC’s global network 
  • Introduces and explores a technical area  
  • Provides an interactive and reflective space for discussion and a way to build connections with peers around the world.
