N2  - Purpose: Ernst von Glasersfeld?s question concerning the relationship between scientific/
rational knowledge and the domain of wisdom and how these forms of knowledge come
about is the starting point. This article aims at developing an epistemological as well as
methodological framework that is capable of explaining how profound change can be
brought about in various contexts, such as in individual cultivation, in organizations, in
processes of radical innovation, etc. This framework is based on the triple-loop learning
strategy and the U-theory approach, which opens up a perspective on how the domains of
scientific/rational knowledge, constructivism, and wisdom could grow together more
closely. Design/Structure: This article develops a strategy which is referred to as ?tripleloop
learning,? which is not only the basis for processes of profound change, but also brings
about a new dimension in the field of learning and knowledge dynamics: the existential
realm and the domain of wisdom. A concrete approach that puts into practice the tripleloop
learning strategy is presented. The final section shows, how these concepts can be
interpreted in the context of the constructivist approach and how they might offer some
extensions to this paradigm. Findings: The process of learning and change has to be
extended to a domain that concerns existential issues as well as questions of wisdom.
Profound change can only happen if these domains are taken into consideration. The tripleloop
learning strategy offers a model that fulfills this criterion. It is an ?epistemo-existential
strategy? for profound change on various levels. Conclusions: The (cognitive) processes
and attitudes of receptivity, suspension, redirecting, openness, deep knowing, as well as
?profound change/innovation from the interior? turn out to be core concepts in this process.
They are compatible with constructivist concepts. Von Glasersfeld?s concept of functional
fitness is carried to an extreme in the suggested approach of profound change and
finds an extension in the existential domain. Key words: Double-loop learning, individual
cultivation, (radical) innovation, knowledge creation, knowledge society, personality development,
presencing, profound change, triple-loop learning, U-theory, wisdom.
