Change agents should apply the action research model if they want to help people to break out of a problem-solving mentality and, instead, reframe relationships around the positive and possible.

The action research model is a cyclical process that involves identifying a problem, gathering data, analyzing the data, taking action to address the problem, and then reflecting on the results. By engaging in this process, change agents can help people to shift from a reactive, problem-focused mindset to a proactive, possibility-focused mindset. This can lead to more innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenges they face.
