cCHANGE AS

cCHANGE AS is a small, international social enterprise based in Norway that has been at the forefront of research and practice on sustainability transformations for over a decade. The company was co-founded by Karen O'Brien, a professor emerita and research director, and Linda Sygna, who serves as CEO. cCHANGE describes itself as a values- and research-based organization that brings together the practical, political, and personal spheres of transformation to help leaders and organizations take meaningful and strategic sustainability leadership. The company's work is grounded in a conscious, creative, collaborative, and courageous approach to sustainability transformations. Rather than applying predefined solutions, cCHANGE co-creates processes and initiatives that respond to the complexity of each situation, working across inner and outer dimensions of change—from ways of seeing and relating to systems, structures, and practices. Its offerings include transformational strategies, strategic transformative design, systems and culture change, research, education, and capacity building. cCHANGE serves a range of clients, including leaders and practitioners, schools and universities, and organizations in energy and circular transition. Its flagship program, Transformational Leadership for Sustainability, is a learning-in-action program for leaders and practitioners working for sustainable and equitable change. For schools and universities, cCHANGE offers cCHALLENGE, a 30-day interdisciplinary learning experience with ready-to-use teaching materials, training, and facilitation support. In research and academia, it provides a six-week online course called Scaling Transformative Change, led by Karen O'Brien, exploring how small, strategic actions can contribute to transformative change at scale. As a social enterprise, cCHANGE reinvests its profit to serve its mission and commitment to realizing a world where all people and nature thrive. The company is based in Norway and operates internationally, with a team that includes senior advisors and transformations coaches in areas such as transformational leadership and strategy, energy and circular transition, and youth and schools. The team prides itself on relational and quality services and a holistic approach to supporting authentic sustainability journeys.
