This book offers insights into how the Theory of Change framework can be effectively employed in a wide range of social interventions. Presenting its potential to support strategy and strategic thinking, this book offers an entry point to understanding how Theory of Change can be applied beyond the typical domain of aid projects. Written by leading scholars and practitioners in the field, the book applies a range of case studies to explore how Theory of Change can be implemented in projects and programmes on different scales. Bringing together cases from different geographic, social, economic and cultural contexts, it demonstrates how Theory of Change can be adapted and help projects to replicate, and showcases the different ways in which practitioners can utilize it. Strategic Thinking, Design and the Theory of Change will be essential reading for both professionals already working with Theory of Change and academics interested in strategy, organization studies, innovation management, design research and project management. Graduate and undergraduate students will also find the book’s practical approach and intensive use of case studies of value.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
