  2. “It’s Time for Systems Change” “……..Systems change is a complex and multi-faceted construct that may be approached in a variety of fashions. ….Evolution views the transformation of systems as a necessarily slow and ongoing process that requires consensus among all levels of stakeholders about changes in attitude and behavior. …..Revolution reflects stakeholder impatience with slow change seeking to replace tortuous evolutions with more immediate and dramatic modifications in status quo.” Patrick Corrigan, University of Chicago Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation
