I can't say how in so many words, but this article really reflects my own experience as someone who works very informally within both a government institution and a field dominated by educational institutions. This article is the first of three parts and focuses on "change makers as insiders and outsiders" while the next two look at "the use and misuse of change communities" and "reflections on making change with the centre of government." I wouldn't even describe this as 'change making', though admittedly, "it is about getting the formal to make space for the informal, and those who think they 'own' the space, to recognise that they don't." On more than one occasion though I've simply concluded than the formal won't change, and that it is better to work outside the institutional framework entirely.
