Supporting conscious and courageous change
We support individuals, teams, and organizations to navigate and lead change in times of deep uncertainty and enormous potential.
Our work is grounded in a conscious, creative, collaborative, and courageous approach to sustainability transformations. We'll work with you find not only what needs to change, but how to make it happen — supporting shifts in mindsets, relationships, and systems.
We'll help you scale change by enabling shifts in underlying patterns, practices, and ways of seeing, both within and across contexts.
Our offerings:
Transformational strategies
We work with you to design and implement strategies that place sustainability at the heart of what you do—rooted in your values, purpose, and context.
Rather than applying predefined solutions, we co-create processes and initiatives that respond to the complexity of your situation. This includes working across inner and outer dimensions of change: from ways of seeing and relating, to systems, structures, and systems.
Our aim is to support shifts that are not only effective locally, but that have the potential to spread, adapt, and inspire broader transformation.
- We facilitate processes to design and implement integrated sustainability strategies, creating alignment and synergy across projects and partnerships.
- We co-create initiatives that contribute to shifting underlying systems and cultures, while developing viable alternatives for people and planet.
- We strengthen your team’s capacity to lead and sustain transformative change, including how such change can grow, travel, and take root in new contexts.

TLFS - our flagship program for leadership development
cCHANGE’s three-part Transformational Leadership for Sustainability program equips professionals working in climate and sustainability with the tools to design projects and strategies for greater impact. It supports participants in shifting limiting cultures and systems, and in leading meaningful change.
The program is led by Prof. Karen O'Brien and Dr. Monica Sharma, who draws on more than two decades of experience as Director of Leadership and Capacity Building at the United Nations.
cCHALLENGE - Engaging people with transformations to sustainability
A 30-day guided experience designed to engage people with the practical, political, and personal spheres of transformations to sustainability.
Going beyond conventional appeals to individual behavioural change, cCHALLENGE invites participants to focus on one small change and explore what happens in everyday life, in organizations, and in society. Drawing on decades of research, it supports people to develop the awareness, insights, and courage needed to contribute to meaningful sustainability transformations. This approach challenges assumptions about change.
Applications
In education
An interdisciplinary learning experience for schools and universities, with ready-to-use teaching materials, training, and facilitation support. cCHALLENGE connects to a wide range of curriculum goals while engaging students in active, social, and meaningful learning.
For organizations
An accessible and engaging entry point for individuals and teams to explore sustainability in practice—through shared learning, experimentation, and reflection. Participants develop new ways of thinking and acting, while contributing to collective change within the organization.

Transformational Researchers with Impact
Our Transformational Researchers with Impact program supports individuals and groups to design and deliver meaningful research for maximum impact.
cCHANGE helps to enhance the impact of research by developing the skills and capacities of individuals and groups working within the larger research ecosystem. Our approach can be used at all stages of research, from proposal writing to dissemination.
Programmes and workshops: A Transformative Researcher Program and shorter introductory workshops with guidance and coaching.
The Three Spheres of Transformation – we support the development of project proposals, strategy, and implementation based on an internationally recognized scientific model for transformative change.
How can research create greater impact? We support research projects with a transformative framework in both design and implementation, and we help strengthen researchers’ capacity to drive meaningful change.

Leadership and collaboration for the Green Energy Transition
We support the design and facilitation of green energy and industrial symbiosis processes that enable resource sharing, reuse, and collaboration across sectors — advancing circular and regenerative systems and the transition to renewable energy.
Beyond technical optimisation, we focus on the relational and systemic conditions that make collaboration possible: trust, shared understanding, and long-term coordination across actors and industries.
In this way, industrial symbiosis becomes not only a resource efficiency strategy, but a way of enabling transformative change to scale through new patterns of cooperation and system redesign.
Our flagship program "Energiomstillerne" goes deeper into the methods and strategies to succeed. It is a collaborative, cross-sectoral program that brings together diverse actors to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy system through dialogue, capacity building, and systems-oriented transformation work.
As a participant, you will gain:
- Practical tools to work holistically and strategically with the energy transition in your organization or sector.
- Methods for leadership, project design, and communication that engage people and unlock the potential in your own work and the collaborations you are part of.
- A values-based approach that creates real change in outdated systems and norms, and accelerates the results you want to see.
- A cross-sector network of change agents who support each other in achieving real energy transition.
- Guidance and support from experienced transformation coaches.
The 2026 Energiomstillerne program is completed. Sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date on new possibilities to join.
