The Team & Academic Roots

Built on Serious Research. Designed for Serious Practitioners.

The Change Points approach did not emerge from a whiteboard session. It was built over years of empirical research and applied testing. The intellectual foundations of this work owe a significant debt to researchers whose contributions have shaped the field.

Foundational Academic Contributions

Dr Matt Watson — University of Sheffield His research into the organization of everyday life provides a core strand of the analytical architecture underpinning the Change Points methodology. His scholarship reminds practitioners that behavior is embedded in systems of provision that policy must engage with directly.

Dr Joanne Tippett — Participatory Design Her contributions to systemic design thinking have been equally significant. Her work on how structured participatory processes can surface genuine insight shaped the workshop methodology that sits at the heart of our approach.

We Want to Hear From You

The work does not stop with publication. We ( the team ) will welcome feedback on the toolkit in its new digital form. The ChangePoints OS is a living resource, and the practitioners who use it are our most important sources of insight.
