Action Learning in Change Management George P. Boulden

The productivity of organisations is determined by the efficiency of their processes and the effectiveness of their people. For 'new' organisations this means starting with a culture that rewards productive behavior. Achieving this in mature organisations however means going through difficult a process of transition to change the existing culture to one that rewards productive behavior. This is difficult in mature organisations where custom and practice live in every part of the organisation. No one individual is the custodian of the organisations values, all employees are part of them and most work there because these values satisfy their needs. Thus to change the culture of mature organisations, we need a means of involving everyone in the change process. In-Plant Action Learning does this; it empowers employees by involving them, either directly or indirectly in the change process through an interlocking network of project teams. If you are seeking a reliable means of delivering organisational change In-Plant Action Learning is for you. This book is explains how the process works and leads the reader through the development and running their own programs. If you want to do it through them rather than to them, In-Plant Action Learning is for you
