In this unit you have had an opportunity to think about how change happens at different levels, in formal and informal spheres, within individuals, and in systems (institutions, governments, policies, practices). The change analysis tool has helped us to look differently at a range of change stories from around the world.

Through the exercises, you have thought more deeply about your overall change goal, developed a better understanding of the context of change, used the change analysis tool to consider what might need to change across different areas to meet your goal, and finally you finished by identifying some change objectives.

In the next unit we will drill down further through a power and systems approach. This will help you to identify which approach is most likely to work and help you to focus your efforts to make change happen to best effect.
