Change does not come easily and the processes suggested by Social Theory ask for specific skills. Facilitators of Change (FoC) help to manage such processes, and part of the ST process is acquiring, among others, these skills by all involved in order to become FoCs as well, or at least to understand and appreciate the process. As said before, ST is not only about making progress in wicked problems, rather the aim is learning new skills with which wicked problems can be tackled. So, wicked problems should be regarded as opportunities to learn making progress collectively, which is by the way a wicked problem itself.
