“…Change strategies, being iterative processes of implementation, evaluation and further refinement, require stakeholder involvement and continuous feedback on process and outcomes in order to learn from past experiences and thus to advance development (van Dongen et al, ; Greenhalgh, Robert, Macfarlane, Bate, & Kyriakidou, ).
