Product Description
Product Description
'The publication of this book coincides with a increasing recognition that the challenges facing society and organizations are not amenable to 'quick fixes'. The approaches to consultancy which underpin the cases presented here are particularly relevant in this new context. The contributors are graduates of AOC and their associates; and the work they describe here is a testament to the quality of that program and the learning that participants get from it' - From the fore ward by Phil Swan, Director of the Tavistock Institute.'One thread which runs through the book is consultancy as learning: learning for both the client and the consultant. The contributors to this book are both accomplished and experienced as consultants, and in a continuous process of development. They are open to reflection, critique of their work, and learning from and with their clients. This notion of learning on the part of client is important too. An effective consultancy intervention is one which not only helps the client to address a particular issue or problem, but which also develops the capacity of the client organization and individuals in it to respond to change and development in the future' - From the Forward by Phil Swan, Director of the Tavistock Institute.

5.0 out of 5 stars
By Elizabeth Harlow,
This review is from: Mind-Ful Consulting (Paperback)
Mind-ful Consulting promotes an approach that is non-judgemental, focussed on the present, and encouraging of creativity and new possibilities. The book's ten chapters (written by alumni of the Tavistock Institute's Advanced Organisational Consultation programme) explore the process and outcome of practice. Whilst each chapter describes a case study, the sophisticated theoretical and reflexive stance of the author(s) makes the content more than just a captivating read: it is both educational and inspirational.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific,

This review is from: Mind-Ful Consulting (Paperback)
This is a terrific book. It is a collection of essays by people who completed the Tavistock Institute's training on organisational consulting, it gives a good sense of what that training involves, through the medium of real live consulting case-studies. If you are interested what goes on below the waterline in organisations it well worth a careful read.
