A Change Agent is someone who deliberately tries to bring about a change or innovation, often associated with
facilitating change in an organization or institution. To some degree, change always involves the exercise of
power, politics, and interpersonal influence. It is critical to understand the existing power structure when
change is being contemplated. A change agent must understand the social, organizational, and political
identities and interests of those involved; must focus on what really matters; assess the agenda of all involved
parties; and plan for action.
Change occurs over time, often fluctuating between intervals of change then a time of settling and stability.
