Paths to Change was founded in 1995 to support clients in developing optimally effective organizations, and in catalyzing strategic changes in organizations, communities and large systems.
Founder Lawrence Ellis has led a distinguished career as an organizational consultant, including as a director with one of the world’s oldest firms dedicated to managing organizational and community change – and as a global citizen dedicated to social and environmental responsibility. He sought to create a firm serving clients, communities and other large systems dedicated to the “triple bottom line”: Profits, People and the Planet – or at the very least dedicated to being optimally effective, while simultaneously not contributing to social and environmental harm.
