UNIQUE! This book is unique among books on consulting and leading in businesses and government! There are already many consulting books, mostly about how to market a consulting business -- but marketing is no good to you if you have no specialty to market! What better specialty can there be than to guide organizations to improve their performance? That is the focus of this book! There are already many books that explore numerous philosophies, broad paradigms and complex theories on change and leadership -- but to be successful as a consultant and leader, you must be able to actually work “in the trenches." This book guides you to do that! ALL-IN-ONE! This easy-to-reference, 499-page resource explains the most common types of issues found in businesses and government agencies and the recommendations to address each of those issues. Also, the book addresses many of the problems with traditional approaches to consulting and leading! TOOLS! This book provides time-tested, straightforward and highly integrated tools and techniques for consultants and leaders to successfully improve businesses and government agencies. The book combines practical information from the fields of Organization Development and consulting, systems thinking and proven principles for change. Guidelines are organized in a step-by-step, numbered sequence that readers can easily apply. CONTENTS: PART I Foundations for Collaborative Consulting, II Overview of Organizations and Systems, III Performance, Change and Learning, IV Collaborative Consulting Cycle, V Toolbox for Managing Groups, VI Toolbox for Practical Data Collection Methods, and VII Toolbox for Analyzing and Changing Systems.

Field Guide To Consulting and Organisational Development

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

To be more effective in my role and as part of my learning objectives, the book will help me to focus on two important aims: (1) build on how I can provide better leadership and/or follow-through consultancy for advocating or administering change programmes; and (2) gain explicit awareness of my personal change (and competencies) to exercise change methods in a real life situations.

The best part of the book is to start the change process beginning with myself. In future roles, it will be important to continue working with teams across business boundaries and to be able to demonstrate background knowledge in all fundamental parts of organisational and business development. Flexibility and knowledge will be required to change whatever I do that doesn't work; or to change my action plan if the current one does not produce the required results.

As well, my role requires that people need to change or adapt, which means I must be prepared to take first step myself. Therefore the book will be invaluable to help me enter practical situations in which I have to (decide how to) manage my own change processes effectively and responsibly in terms of developing and introducing alternative perspectives and new avenues on methods for diagnosis, conflict handling and intervention.

I don't like to use "love" for things, but I really believe this is a good tool for consultants in the OD field. A great basic guide book.

An Excellent Resource

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2010

Verified Purchase

I firmly believe that book is under advertised. I used this text to add theory to my MSc in Management while in my role as a consultant. It is an excellent relevant text for Change which any business would implement in order to improve performance.

This book should be a 'look inside' text to offer a feel of the work.
