""Large-scale conservation programs often require policy and societal changes, and the initial theory of change is rarely one hundred percent accurate. Thus, a program must constantly measure and adapt to fit emerging know ledge. This marvelous new book explores this approach and is a wonderful addition that will inform anyone struggling to make changes in large, complex systems.""--John Hennessy, James F. and Mary Lynn Gibbons Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and former President, Stanford University ""Pathways to Success provides a systematic guide to achieve large-scale, environmental conservation. The authors champion flexible, adaptive strategies to tame complex systems. While stressing what they call 'aluminum' standard' analytic approaches, their book is the gold standard of guides to environmental transformation.""--Harvey V. Fineberg, President, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation ""Given the urgent need for scalable solutions to address today's global challenges, Pathways to Success transforms good intent into good management practice. It is a fundamental read for all working to put people and planet first.""--Veronica Olazabal, Managing Director, The Rockefeller Foundation, and President, The American Evaluation Association
