Tools for change

This handbook provides essential background knowledge and understanding as well as tools and
techniques for sustaining organisational change in complex systems. It is based on the premise that the
ideas embedded in the theories of living systems provide us with explanations as to how organisations
actually work. Consequently we can derive insight on how to act and intervene more effectively in such
systems.
The handbook focuses on:
• Key concepts and ideas on complex systems
• Applications to organisations
• Designing interventions for change
• Tools and Techniques [Practices]
- core practices for groups and teams
- conversations for understanding and learning
- conversations for possibility
- conversations for determining values, principles, agreements
- conversations for actions.
Malby and Fischer have provided here some of the essential tools and techniques that will enable heads,
senior leaders and teachers to enhance their capacity and capability to intervene effectively in their teams.
Becky Malby is the founder and Director of Complex Systems Associates Ltd and Director of the
Centre for Innovation in Health Management at the University of Leeds. Martin Fischer is a Management
and Organisation Development Consultant.
