Change-makers are entrepreneurial people that actively make a difference in the world and influence other people with their experiments.Where as change-makers in the past generations tried to change society as a whole by protesting on the streets or against the government, people from this generation start by changing their own lifestyle en their local environment and grow bigger and bigger.

Usually the change process start with a personal problem of difficulty a person encounters. This problem needs to be solved and the person is searching for a solution. One the solution is found a person decides that there are other people who probably have the same problem, they create a vision about how this problem should be solved, this can be by starting a movement, a charity but also by starting a business. A good example tends to be followed and other people start to adopt the vision. If the problem raised by the change-maker is an underlying problem within the society he becomes a role model. The change-maker becomes the personification of an unified problem and usually has to explain other groups why these changes need to be made.
