Who We Are

The IAGC is a professional organization, which supports its members to bring Generative Change work to the world. It is a “virtual hub” where many groups and individuals can come together, giving them a transformational opportunity to creatively collaborate, to generatively realize positive visions and through these connections, to engage with the larger world. Another important function of the IAGC is to bring specific “technologies of generative change” into people’s conversational awareness and their skill base through its system of certification trainings.

 

We are an international association, with certification programs in many countries. The IAGC aims to provide the structures and tools necessary to bring Generative Change work to multiple communities, including professional and cultural, throughout the world.
