Group Methods for Shaping the Future.
This is a comprehensive reference book about high leverage change methods that details change methods which focus on involving groups of people to move from their current state to a more productive, more personally enriching future state. Ironically, although this is one of the most effective ways to conduct change, it has historically been the most neglected. This 'Handbook' addresses the "what is it" aspect of each of these change methods, rather than the "how to do it". It helps you determine which approaches best fit your situation and guides you to other sources for more detailed information.
There are seventeen methods described in the book and each method has a dedicated chapter that answers questions frequently asked by people considering undertaking a substantive change effort. Once you determine which method is most compatible with your organisation, the book's comprehensive resource section provides books, articles, organisations, Internet sites, individuals, and other sources that can help get you up and running.
