Building and Nurturing our Community of Practice

The first of TWIST’s strategic pillars is to intentionally build and nurture our Community of Practice. The Community brings together investors, practitioners, and facilitators who are actively exploring and applying systemic investing with the intention to contribute to positive systems change.

This pillar acknowledges that transformation happens within a community. Nurturing this community means cultivating trust, enabling peer support, and creating space for mutual learning. By sharing strategies, challenges, and insights, members inspire and support one another, building the connective tissue that a resilient systems investing field needs.

Members of the Community of Practice help co-create TWIST’s vision and activities, from shaping our systems mapping work to guiding our strategic learning journeys. Each member contributes to a living library of case studies that document real-world efforts to shift systems, case studies that are also shared with academic partners to support rigorous research and broader field-building.

While the case studies shared through the Community vary widely in context, geography, and form, they all share a defining characteristic: they involve the deployment or facilitation of capital with the explicit intention to drive systems-level change. These efforts reflect the values of experimentation, learning, and stewardship that lie at the heart of TWIST.
