Mair, 2024).We contribute to organization theory by (1) extending the concept of creeping crises into the organizational domain, (2) advancing a processual view of institutional change, emphasizing how learning, experimentation, and emergent action\u2014rather than predefined strategies\u2014can foster transformation, and (3) introducing a normative lens to assess institutional change based on its contribution to institutional capacity.<br>This perspective shifts analytical attention from fixed outcomes to the quality and direction of the change process, offering a framework for evaluating how organizations address complex societal challenges and reshape institutional arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/link\/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:6cde3bb7-0d32-3f10-b3ad-e7891078a56d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More info<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 18th, 20252:30pm \u2013 4pm in Promenade Building (PR13) &amp;
