ABSTRACT
Societal learning and change is a new way for people, organisations and sectors to relate to one another. The bankers and community development activists, the forest companies and environmental CBOs, the national governments and TAl CBOs, the corporations and GRI CBOs had to move from relationships of antagonism to mutuality. The Madagascar and Indian governments had to shift from thinking of themselves as 'in control' to playing a supportive role. The construction companies in South Africa and Dolefil in the Philippines had to shift from thinking of themselves as independent producers to being part of a bigger interdependent system. These new types of relationships cannot be built on old types of structures. SLC requires new ways of organising.
