The book comes from a particular approach which is characterised by the work of the Tavistock Institute in socio-technical systems and psychodynamics. For readers who are in tune with this approach this book will be essential; for others it will provide valuable learning concepts and case illustrations. - David Coghlan, University of Dublin
Product Description
Developing Organizational Consultancy provides consultants with theoretical and practical advice on how to handle typical consultancy challenges. Well-established organizational consultants from the UK and the US offer descriptions of problems they have encountered in their work, a theoretical or practical approach that they have found helpful, cases from their actual practice, and advice about how to apply their suggested approach generally.
Chapters are grouped together to address three key areas: developing a professional stance; considering psychodynamic approaches; and applying organizational theory. Contributors include Thomas Gillmore, William Schneider, Raphe Berenbaum, Bill Chritchly and Jean E. Neumann.
