“When the hearty pioneers of yesteryear headed west in
their wagons, the most savvy among them no doubt took along the
early reports of explorer John Wesley Powell or the Lewis and Clark
expedition as a rough guide to what they’d encounter in the
‘Badlands.’ Today’s new pioneers in a fast
transforming world—the metaphorical ‘Badlands’ in
which we suddenly find ourselves—alas now have a similar
rough guide. To survive and thrive along the dusty, dangerous and
hazard-strewn trial that leads into the global future, keep you
powder dry, your canteen full and have Mary
O’Hara-Devereaux’s remarkable new book at reach in your
saddlebag.”

“Navigating the Badlands is clear, easy to read,
and explains deeply the concepts that I have come to use almost

framework is relevant in almost every conversation I am in about
the future of the nonprofit sector, philanthropy, and social
change. The framework helps me to understand what has changed, is
changing, and will change, and what skills, capacities, and
strategies we need to support and nurture through this transition
time. The framework provides a posture toward the world—a way
of thinking about and managing change, a way of exploring the
future so that you might then great it better
prepared.”

realize the potential of their abilities within your organization
