Adam Kahane is a best-selling Canadian author and leading international social change facilitator, who for the last twenty years worked around the world on many tough and vital challenges: food security, health care, economic development, judicial reform, peace making, and climate change.

Adam will be looking at the ways in which his theory and practice of social change integrates economic, social and cultural, and environmental sustainability.

Adam is a partner in Reos Partners, an international organisation dedicated to supporting and building capacity for innovative collective action in complex social systems. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Science, Innovation and Society at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School.

Adam is a leading organizer, designer and facilitator of processes through which business, government, and civil society leaders can work together to address their toughest challenges. He has worked in more than fifty countries, in every part of the world, with executives and politicians, generals and guerillas, civil servants and trade unionists, community activists and United Nations officials, clergy and artists.

Adam is the author of "Solving Tough Problems: An Open Way of Talking, Listening, and Creating New Realities" (San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler, 2004). Nelson Mandela said: “This breakthrough book addresses the central challenge of our time: finding a way to work together to solve the problems we have created.” and "Power and Love: A Theory and Practice of Social Change".
