It answers one of the guiding questions of ChangeCamp by:

Better outcomes is a contested idea. Most of us think that our version of what is good is probably the right one, so we all seek to influence change in our own way. But influence is not distributed equally so change will always tend to favour the powerful. This session will explore how we can ensure not just better outcomes, but more just outcomes.
