Synopsis

There are many books on Organisational Development which come at the subject in similar ways, but to the reflective practitioner who is curious about their practice there is a common disconnect between the simplicity of theory and the messiness of practice. Organisation Development: A Bold Explorer s Guide gives voice to the daily messiness that they encounter in way that: 1) gives them hope that this is a shared reality (in fact it is normal); and 2) out of all of this progress can be made. The book pays attention to those everyday decisions that need to be made in the moment that can have wider long lasting implications, both for good or ill. The authors challenge the received building blocks of organisation development. They put the curious, reflexive individual at the heart of their own development. This book is written for those who are keen to develop their practice from the ground up and who are looking for inspiration to take their own experience seriously.

À propos de l?auteur

James Traeger co-founded the organisation development consultancy Mayvin.co.uk to help their clients in Government, commerce and the third sector navigate the increasing complexity of their environment. For ten years James led a project that helped men investigate their relationship with their work, supporting and responding to the changing role of women. This culminated in his doctoral research and since 2010 he has supervised doctoral students at Ashridge-Hult Business School. Rob Warwick is a Reader in Management and Organisational Learning at the University of Chichester, who arrived in academia having been at the sharp end of organisational change within the UK s National Health Service supporting both large- and small-scale projects. He became curious about the rhetoric of organisational change and it was this curiosity and a doctorate in change management that led him to academia and this book.
