Managing change is like rafting down a treacherous river. While some of the rapids can be anticipated, there is always an element of unpredictability. This book presents organization development as a process of discovery, learning, and adaption to change for the benefit of both individuals and their organizations.

This book does a wonderful job of bringing organization development to contemporary changes in organizations around the world. It maintains the core values of OD while expanding on who is involved and how it they implement it. The book provides valuable insights, along with helpful case studies and exercises, and should be an excellent tool for learning.

This an excellent book that offers a clear and up-to-date understanding of OD. It provides very useful cases studies and other learning material, which will allow students to appreciate the range of OD intervention and how they should be used. It will find a welcome place on my bookshelf.
