Creating meaningful change in a community isn’t just about having a great idea – it’s about overcoming the barriers that stand in the way.
That’s where the Change Formula comes in:
Change = (D x V x P) > Barriers
This simple yet powerful model explains the key elements needed for change to take root:
- D = Dissatisfaction with the current situation
- V = Vision for a better future
- P = Plan to make that future a reality
- Barriers = The obstacles that slow progress, such as lack of funding, skills, time or support.
If the combined strength of D, V and P is greater than the Barriers, change happens. If it’s not, resistance wins and progress stalls.
The One Page Plan is a practical tool designed to help determine whether there’s enough dissatisfaction to create urgency, a clear unifying vision, and a strong, actionable plan for the future.
In the end, a community is not just defined by its geography or its problems; it’s shaped by the connections between its members and the shared goals that unite them. The One Page Plan will help your team bring these elements into sharp focus – turning ideas into action and vision into reality.
