Today he works as a senior government official in Sweden, representing the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency ("Sida"). Prior to joining Sida, he worked principally as a strategic advisor to governments, companies, and the United Nations. AtKisson's books have often been adopted by schools, universities, companies and professional training programs around the world. He has given hundreds of speeches and seminars on sustainability and transformative change, in over 50 countries. He co-founded or -led several of the pioneering initiatives that helped lay the foundations for the modern practice of sustainable development, and the planning and teaching tools he developed — the "Sustainability Compass", the "Pyramid" workshop method, the "Amoeba" model of planning for change — are in wide use internationally.
