He explores how we are in a period of disruption, what that means for system change makers, and how they might support the disruption and unravelling of previously established systems as part of a transition to something new. This framework offers language and a framing for where things are at and, more importantly, names some actions we can take to feel a sense of hope and agency in times where we can otherwise feel helpless and discouraged.As founder and President of Here to There Consulting, Mark's current focus is on developing practical ways to understand, plan, and evaluate efforts to address complex issues - including neighborhood renewal, poverty and homelessness, community safety, educational achievement, and health. He is particularly involved in developing and promoting developmental evaluation, an approach to assessment that emphasizes real time feedback and learning in emerging, messy, and sometimes fast-moving environments.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/NtkzY-4392AwZoawRraC_WiCMelCqcWzDdAmOs-IYlA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84Mjc0/YzIzZWM2YjY3ZjIy/OTI2OGRmMjNmYjNj/MmIzZi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
