The challenge of sustaining change

one of the key factors that has enabled sustainability in the qips has been that there has been participation of stakeholders. While reading some case studies on collaboration among schools in some rural areas of the US i found a ver interesting remark "Sustainability is a huge issue if you don't have anything else to look at." If we do not have the access to look at new things, new ways, how can we make our visions bigger? How do we enable this for oursekves and for all the CRPs, BRPs, ECOs and IERTs who have come into the mdp fold?
