How change leads to transformation
Abstract
This chapter discusses how change is local, centering the importance of knowledge and communities and elaborates how change can be transformative by reviewing models for change at the societal, organizational and individual levels. Combining the above, a new mental model is proposed – LEADS – in an attempt to capture change in sustainable development implementation. The chapter concludes with a note on sustained change and a reflection on the need for a paradigm shift.
