This book offers a practical guide for those seeking to design and deliver a strategic transformational change process. The vehicle for the change management is a collective learning spiral which has been trialed in a wide range of situations. These situations include people who wish to develop their own thinking, work on teambuilding, initiate whole-of-community change, restructure an organization, offer professional development, or take part in policy development.
"I love this concept of celebration of collective learning" Jackie Ohlin, Foreword of the Guide, p. V.
"Social learning is a slippery subject. It is by nature an open (hard to delimit) process. The authors navigate these complexities wisely using the compass of experience. The Guide is practice-oriented both in its origin and perspective. The conceptual piece of the Guide supports the methodology, illuminates the reasoning behind the method, and helps the reader to understand what social learning is about. A groundbreaking reference for those interested in working with social learning."
Sebastião Ferreira
This step by step guide is for those seeking to undertake a transformational change process based on strong collaboration among diverse interests. Guiding transformational change goes beyond small changes to an existing system. It leads to lasting change in the system itself. The collective learning process achieves a systems change through a continuous learning spiral based on open learning among diverse interests. The sixteen case studies cover guided transformational change in personal learning, team-building, community development, organizational change, monitoring and evaluation, and cross-cultural learning. Each transformational change has been treated as a celebration of mutual learning.
Part one of the book provides an outline of the theory and practice of collective learning. The theory draws on the experiential learning cycle developed by David Kolb. The practice follows the rules of open space learning, dialogue and valuing diversity. The case studies in Part two are examples of collective learning leading to transformational change in a wide range of contexts, from cities to councils to organisations. Part three offers thirty-two activities on which the programme designers can draw in the course of guiding transformational change.
This innovative book is of immense value to researchers, students and professionals in the fields of organizational change, organizational behaviour, management education, and sustainability training, education and leadership.
