According to the Oxford University Press, change is defined as "the act or instance of making or becoming different" with sub-definitions of "the substitution of one thing for another" and "an alteration or modification."
### Change vs Transformation
Change and [[transformation]] are often spoken of interchangeably, but they are distinct from one another. All transformation involves change, but not all change is transformational. Chaudron (2019) notes that "change fixes [and improves] the past. Transformation creates the future."
It seems to me that change is often external, while transformation is almost always internal.
