Intervening and Changing: Looking for Meaning in Interactions

This book introduces a complete new perspective on intervening in organizational change. It offers an overview of paradoxes and tensions in the field of organizational changes and presents interventions, which are based in social constructionism and social interaction theory. From this perspective people are collaborating together, making sense of their work and living situations, building new futures and developing collaborative action for breakthrough innovation.

This is the first and comprehensive guide to highly successful new ways for organizations and communities to apply global thinking and democratic values to achieve innovations on local levels in organizational life. And it explains how to make interventions work, providing case examples and describe the methods for conducting effective interventions for sensemaking and innovation.
