Read Tom Carpenter's profile, OSR 13 graduate

Tom Carpenter, OSR 13 graduate, is the founder of Handford Challenge, a public interest non-profit with a 
fundamentally different approach gained through his study of Organization Systems Renewal.

In 2007, Tom started Hanford Challenge, which aims for less confrontation and more listening to workers, managers, officials and other stakeholders.

“If you can go straight to the people who have the power to change something,” he says, “you’re shortcutting an expensive and usually painful process for people.”

Read Tom's full story and learn how he is using his OSR skills to bring about change.
