Organisational Consulting: A Relational Perspective

Organisational Consulting: A Relational Perspective provides, through the very personal stories of a group of organisational consultants, an insight into the complexity and dynamics of life in an organisation. Focusing on the anxieties and successes of the consultants, the book is an essential reference for those trying to bring about change in an organisation or develop leadership capability. Each consultant has attended the Ashridge Masters in Organisational Consulting and been exposed to a number of theories: about organisations as complex social processes, about the psychology of organisations and about the nature of change. They reveal that organisations are essentially a process of evolving communicative interaction, in which we all participate and of which no one individual is in control. The book looks at what it takes to consult with a rigorous understanding of a philososphy, the theory of consulting and the benefits and challenges this brings, compared to the more traditional consulting methodologies. It will help practising consultants to deepen their understanding of the principles of relational consulting.
