This book invites readers to explore the uncertainty and moral depth of organisational change as a living, relational experience. Theorising how the field of change studies might evolve in coming years, contributors address the fundamental question: can we shape the future through change?

Chapters adopt diverse theoretical and practical perspectives, analysing both the contemporary and future relevance of change studies. Moving beyond instrumental models and towards ethical understandings of the subject, the book is divided into four thematic parts: change towards meaningful futures, change through connection and collaboration, change as social and systemic practice, and change as inquiry, play and praxis. Contributors consider organisations as part of a broader ecosystem in the Anthropocene, presenting new and exciting pathways for studies of organisational change theory.

Scholars and researchers in organisation studies and change management seeking novel approaches and challenging research questions will greatly benefit from the book's forward-looking insights. Its practical suggestions will be of equal interest to change professionals, consultants, and practitioners, as well as leaders engaged in organisational transformations.
