    Exploring insider social change agents’ mechanisms for reaching sustainability transformation tipping points in their organization _Cooperative inquiry at the University of St Gallen
    (2025)
    Clémentine Robert  
    In light of the growing sustainability pressures on society and the planet, insider social change agents act as important actors in the sustainability transformation process of their own organization. Across the literature, insider change agents are characterized by small wins. However, times require to move beyond those and reach tipping points to create a broader impact so insider social change agents accelerate the sustainability transformation of their own organization. This paper explores how cooperative inquiry with diverse insider social change agents can help identify mechanisms for reaching sustainability transformation tip-ping points in their own organization. To investigate this question in depth, the exploratory study focuses on one specific organization, the University of St Gallen, in Switzerland. Through an abductive process, I draw on both insider social change agents and cooperative inquiry literatures while running a cooperative inquiry process in collaboration with insider social change agents at the University of St Gallen, including myself. This action research approach serves both practical and academic purposes. Preliminary findings show that the core characteristics of cooperative inquiry foster the quest for identification of mechanisms to reach tipping points. In addition, the extended epistemology used in cooperative inquiry fur-ther contributes to the identification of mechanisms to reach tipping points. I then briefly outline points to be further discussed.

    -Professional Development Workshop- Impact-driven scholars addressing grand challenges often struggle with designing, implementing, writing up, and publishing their research because it requires novel approaches and perspectives that deviate from mainstream management science. Communities of practice can support these scholars in creating impact. The purpose of this workshop is to launch or revitalise self-organized micro-communities of impact scholars interested in related ontologies, methods, phenomena, or theories. To do so, we have developed a playbook for micro-communities of impact scholars that we will pilot in this workshop. The workshop concept and the playbook draw on our experience of initiating and developing a spontaneous micro-community that has supported our PhD journeys. We want to explore the resonance of the playbook with the attendees and spark their curiosity and excitement to form or revitalise their own micro-communities. The PDW participants will benefit from a supportive, action-oriented environment tailored to their challenges and aspirations. The workshop provides an interactive platform for sharing experiences, individual reflection, building connections, and launching new or revitalising existing micro-communities for impact. With this workshop, we aim to create impact on the individual, organizational, and societal levels by illuminating the role of developmental friendship in self-organised communities and contributing to more relevant and rigorous research on addressing grand challenges.
