The Hacking Onion is a model for driving change at multiple levels of complexity. It was created by Enterprise Agility University to empower individuals to influence their organizations, markets, and society, even when they feel powerless to do so.

The key concepts of the Hacking Onion are:

• Change starts from within. Work on yourself first before trying to change others.
• Influence those closest to you. Build empathy and alliances with colleagues.
• Use existing workplace dynamics instead of fighting them. Find ways to "hack the system" to amplify your impact.
• Address group dynamics and biases at the team level through inclusion practices.
• Pay attention to power structures and find supporters at the organizational or societal level.
• Make progress one level at a time. Each small action contributes to overall change.

The Hacking Onion provides a systematic approach focused on your sphere of influence. By using low-resistance methods aligned with existing organizational or social dynamics, individuals can drive change even when it seems unreachable. It's about optimizing your influence through incremental progress!
