The AFRICA
Change
Framework

By Lowen Smith - South African change management leader

The first rigorous, practitioner-grade change management methodology built from African philosophical foundations - not adapted from Western frameworks for African application.

"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu."

A person is a person through other persons. - Zulu Proverb · The Ubuntu foundation on which this framework was built.

Built from, not adapted for

Most 'culturally adapted' change frameworks take a Western methodology and add African examples. The AFRICA framework is built from African philosophical foundations. The principles are African. The case studies are African. The tools are designed for African organisational contexts.
