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.
