5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Single Resource on Using Groups to Make Change, June 29, 2000
This review is from: Large Group Interventions: Engaging the Whole System for Rapid Change (Jossey-Bass Business & Management) (Hardcover)
Think of this as a reference work on major strategies for making change in organizations. Bunker and Alban give clear overviews of well-tested methods at three levels: strategic planning, smaller group level, and individual job level.
At the strategic level, for example, you can compare Future Search, Search Conference, Real Time Strategic Change and other approaches to help decide which might best suit a specific situation.
Bunker and Alban also provide references on each approach, so you can get more specific information.
My only complaint is that there should probably be a revised edition one of these days to keep up with new resources.

Excellent book for practioner and "lay" person alike, November 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Large Group Interventions: Engaging the Whole System for Rapid Change (Jossey-Bass Business & Management) (Hardcover)
Although parts of this book are aimed at the practioner, Bunker and Alban are so clear and straightforward in theory and example that their book is invaluable for anyone committed to innovative, effective organizational learning and growth.
