Pool of Experts

A curated network of facilitators, specialists, and transformation practitioners

CLI’s Pool of Experts brings together a diverse international network of facilitators, specialists, researchers, advisors, and practitioners who contribute expertise across collaborative transformation processes, learning journeys, and multi-actor initiatives.

The pool of experts reflects more than thematic expertise alone. It represents a shared commitment to collective leadership, participatory approaches, and transformation-oriented practice across diverse regional and institutional contexts.

The pool of experts reflects more than thematic expertise alone. It represents a shared commitment to collective leadership, participatory approaches, and transformation-oriented practice across diverse regional and institutional contexts.

CLI’s experts are not only selected based on technical experience and professional backgrounds. They are also connected through shared methodologies, facilitation approaches, and learning processes developed through CLI’s practice and certification pathways.

Stakeholder Facilitation
Systems Transformation
Gender & Feminist Leadership
Multi-Actor Governance
Sustainability & Climate
Process Design

The strength of this network comes from a shared foundation: every expert is first a certified Collective Leadership Specialist, actively practicing CLI’s methodologies.

Specialists who are actively working with CLI’s methodologies can apply once a year to join the pool of experts for a two-year term. It’s how CLI ensures that everyone in the pool brings both credentials and current, hands-on experience, the same standard partners can rely on when looking for support.

CLI’s Pool of Experts continues to grow through collaboration with facilitators, specialists, and practitioners who align with our transformation-oriented methodologies and collective leadership approaches.

Experts within the pool are selected not only on professional expertise and regional experience, but also through shared facilitation practice, collaborative values, and active participation in CLI’s learning and certification pathways.

If you are a certified specialist interested in contributing to collaborative transformation processes and becoming part of the pool of experts, we invite you to connect with us.
