**Something new and important is afoot. Nonprofit and philanthropic organisations
are under increasing pressure to do more and to do better to increase and improve
productivity with fewer resources. Social entrepreneurs, community-minded leaders,
nonprofit organisations, and philanthropists now recognise that to achieve greater
impact they must adopt a network-centric approach to solving difficult problems.**

Building networks of like-minded organisations and people offers them a way to weave
together and create strong alliances that get better leverage, performance, and 
results than any single organization is able to do.

While the advantages of such networks are clear, there are few resources that offer
easily understandable, field-tested information on how to form and manage social-
impact networks.

Drawn from the authors’ deep experience with more than thirty successful network
projects, _Connecting to Change the World_ provides the frameworks, practical advice,
case studies, and expert knowledge needed to build better performing networks. Readers
will gain greater confidence and ability to anticipate challenges and opportunities.

Easily understandable and full of actionable advice, _Connecting to Change the World_
is an informative guide to creating collaborative solutions to tackle the most difficult
challenges society faces.
