ABLe Change Process - Tools and Resources for Community Systems Change
ABLe Change Framework
Intermediate
Toolkit
The ABLe Change Framework is a model designed by Drs. Pennie Foster-Fishman and Erin Watson to help communities more effectively address complex social problems and achieve transformative community change. The ABLe Change approach engages communities in the following 8-step community problem-solving process. This guide includes tools and resources to support communities in pursuing each of these 8 steps. Communities launching new change efforts may find it most useful to start with step 1 in this process. Other communities that have already initiated their efforts may find it more useful to start with a step later in the process. Remember the 8 steps are part of an ongoing action learning cycle (define, design, do, learn). When communities reach step 8 of the process, they will revisit step 1 to clarify and “redefine” local problems and opportunities as the world changes (e.g., a global pandemic emerges). This helps ensure problem-solving and action efforts remain responsive and relevant to local needs.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
