Chapter Chapter 10 in The Flow of Organizational Culture, 2020, pp 175-198 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter develops a number of alternative approaches to traditional Organization Development (OD) consulting practices. It analyzes the positivist nature of OD practices as derived from Lewin’s work and how they are out of alignment with the epistemological underpinnings of the system/process model of culture presented in this book. The chapter concludes with the presentation of two consultancies that help to illustrate the application of the alternative consulting principles discussed in the chapter.
