The document discusses different levels of change - incremental, reform-oriented, and transformational - that could be applied to address challenges. It also describes an exercise where participants will be split into three groups to make the case for one of these levels of change. The groups will then discuss questions about aspirations, attributes of an organization, and emerging issues.
