According to this article, "narrative change uses the power of stories to shape how people understand issues and the world." I've never really been happy with the ideas of stories to explain anything - the narrative linear text-based format imposes a lot of structure and cannot capture a lot of what happens. For example: "A theory of change follows an if-then-ultimately logic. In this model, 'x' is the activity, 'y' is the immediate outcome, and 'z' is the desired, longer-term change." So simplistic! My own view on patterns of change is here. And I imagine I would have a whole other story to tell about causality.
