Actor-Based Change Workshops
Hands-on training for teams working in complex systems.
Delivered by the creators of the Actor-Based Change Framework
Why this workshop?
Complex systems don’t change through linear logic.
They change through actors — their behaviours, their motivations, their relationships, their constraints.
Ripple CoLab’s Actor-Based Change Workshops give your team practical, usable tools to navigate complexity with confidence. This isn’t theory for theory’s sake: it’s grounded, applied, and immediately useful.
Our workshops are based on our widely published ABC Framework (American Journal of Evaluation).
What you’ll learn:
How to identify priority actors in a complex system
How to diagnose Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation (COM-B)
How behaviours shape system outcomes
How to map actor interactions and change pathways
How to design realistic, evidence-based interventions
How to understand assumptions, risks, and system dynamics
How to apply ABC to your own programmes in real time
