Summary

"Systemic Action Research works with live social and organisational issues to uncover their complex dynamics, reveal opportunities for effective interventions, and generate action to support whole system change." "Filled with illustrative stories and pictures which bring the concepts to life, this book shows how to design and facilitate systematic action research programmes, extending the possibilities of action research beyond the 'individual' and the 'group' to whole organisations, multi agency governance arenas, and networks." "It will be of interest to experienced action researchers, social researchers, international development organisations, community development practitioners, change management facilitators and policy makers."--Jacket.
