5.0 out of 5 stars Best Single Resource on Using Groups to Make Change, Jun 29 2000
By Diana K. Christopulos (Salem, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Think of this as a reference work on major strategies for making change in organizations. Bunker and Alban give clear overviews of well-tested methods at three levels: strategic planning, smaller group level, and individual job level.

At the strategic level, for example, you can compare Future Search, Search Conference, Real Time Strategic Change and other approaches to help decide which might best suit a specific situation.

Bunker and Alban also provide references on each approach, so you can get more specific information.

My only complaint is that there should probably be a revised edition one of these days to keep up with new resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for practioner and "lay" person alike, Nov 2 1998
By A Customer
Although parts of this book are aimed at the practioner, Bunker and Alban are so clear and straightforward in theory and example that their book is invaluable for anyone committed to innovative, effective organizational learning and growth.
