Taking Theory into Practice~
Edited by Ed Griffin, Mike Alsop, Martin Saville and Grahame Smith
A Field Guide for Organisation Development offers a variety of perspectives and experiences from researchers and practitioners on Organisation Development, a concept that many organisations find difficult to tackle. The editors have created a practical and accessible field guide that is both wide-ranging and subtle offering ideas and practices that do not necessarily agree with each other.
Leading practitioners tackle the dilemmas and polarities that face anyone studying or practising within the OD arena and encourage them to develop their own solutions that meet the individual needs of their own organisation. From organisational health and planning and managing complex change, through to working with external consultants and using data wisely, the comprehensive guide covers issues that continue to challenge organisations of all shapes and sizes.
