Field note 03 · Monday, September 28
Something small changes. The field is no longer the same.
Strategic change often begins before the organization has language for it. A local condition shifts. A relationship changes. A decision redirects attention. The surrounding field starts responding.
The first task is to see the change clearly enough to ask whether it is isolated, recurring, or connected to other movement. Premature certainty closes the inquiry. Disciplined attention keeps it useful.
The question
Which small change could alter the relationships around it?
