Systemic Action Research works with real social and organizational issues to uncover their complex dynamics, often revealing unexpected opportunities. This book shows how this process can be integrated, in any context, to the process of social and organizational development and change. Systemic Action Research programs are now being adopted in government and local governance contexts, as well as in national and international NGOs. The book details how to design a program and build it directly into policy and practice development. Filled with illustrative stories and pictures which bring the concepts to life, it enables the reader to develop a clear picture of how to put Systemic Action Research into practice.
