Two posts in one day – not sure the Al Gore Rhythm will like that. Here is the Pentagram of Influence, following its warm reception yesterday at the Wales National Transport Conference in Cardiff.

I originally posted about it back in July (https://lnkd.in/e9mDriqy).

I hope it can be of use to people as framework for conversation to explore the interplay of actors and their different degrees of agency and appetite when it comes to addressing the climate emergency.

You may well not agree with the version and explanation I’ve provided here. Good! Have a think through how you would apportion relative agency and appetite and why. What then follows is a need to consider what that means if we, as professionals, want to have more positive influence within the pentagram.

No wonder wicked problems are hard to manage and positive progress is hard won and easily undermined.

Thanks Lewis Barlow and Felicia Bjersing for your interest in this ‘dark art’ 🤘

h/t again my metal brother Giulio Mattioli for his previous use of the pentagram in relation to the challenges of system change.
