The Necessary Revolution
How Individuals and Organizations are Working Together to Create a Sustainable World
by Peter Senge, Bryan Smith, Nina Kruschwitz, Joe Laur, Sarah Schley

Paperback, 612 pp.
Price: £12.99
ISBN: 9781857885323
 

"An interesting and important contribution to the burgeoning literature on the implications of climate change for business.

Senge and his co-authors have produced an excellent volume, which deserves to find a place on the shelves of any thoughtful manager. The book is an example of what is is about, since it is both innovative and radical."

Lord Anthony Giddens, professor emeritus at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance and the London School of Economics writing in Management Today, August 2008

"Senge is best know for The Fifth Discipline ... this book is far better: it is better written and more powerful. On the evidence presented here, the case for business sustainability is overwhelming.

Although the authors never say so directly, it seems clear that the business case for sustainability is so strong that the personal beliefs of the CEO and the board do not really matter. Even the most adamant climate-change denier must recognise where the market is going. Forget the environment: this is business. ... Their arguments are compelling and there are plenty of examples of businesses already leading the way.”

Financial Times, 3 July 2008

“Any environmentally-aware executive who is keen to change the way we live and work in order to help our planet will find much to enjoy, energise and embrace in this book.”
Human Capital Management Magazine

“The Necessary Revolution tackles the sustainability crises by asking its readers to re-evaluate the way they do business ... The book forecasts the bursting of the ‘take, make, waste’ ethos and hails the opportunity to reassess both individuals’ and businesses’ use of resources.”
The Environmentalist



The paperback edition of this timely and groundbreaking book from the bestselling author of The Fifth Discipline series and Presence. The Necessary Revolution reveals how corporations and organizations are, in the face of looming environmental crises and pressure from social issues, finding solutions that ensure both long- term survival and real-time business success.

The Necessary Revolution is destined to become the essential handbook for everyone who understands the need to act and work together now to create a sustainable world for ourselves and the generations to come.


A revolution is underway, and spreading fast. Organizations everywhere are boldly leading the change from the dead-end of “business as usual” to new strategies and transformative practices that promote a flourishing, sustainable world. Pragmatic and powerful, today’s most innovative leaders know that revolutionary—not incremental—changes in the way we live and work are necessary for their, and our, survival.

Brimming with inspiring stories from around the globe, and organizations ranging from Alcoa to Oxfam, DuPont to GE, The Necessary Revolution clearly shows that ordinary people at every level within every organization have the ability and innovative spirit to do extraordinary things. By working collaboratively across boundaries, they are amplifying their creativity to find unprecedented solutions in an intensely interdependent world.

The Necessary Revolution contains a wealth of strategies to help anyone, regardless of role or title, build the confidence and competence to respond effectively to the greatest challenge of our time. It is destined to become the essential handbook for everyone who understands the need to act and work together—now—to create a sustainable world for ourselves and the generations to follow.
