Praise for Reinventing Organization Development

‘A hard hitting yet hopeful look at a field concerned with
renewal that is in need of renewal itself. This book is full of
intelligent questions, provocative appraisals, and prescriptions
for action that they serve.’

-Rosabeth Moss Kanter, chaired professor, Harvard Business School;
author, Confidence: How?Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin
and End

‘Wise, invaluable advice that the field and its practitioners
should heed if the field of OD is to take its rightful place as an
applied behavioral science that can make a difference in the
economic and human affairs of organizations.’

-Michael Beer, professor emeritus, Harvard Business School;
chairman, Center for Organizational Fitness

‘Few disciplines in decline have subjected themselves to so
profound a self-evaluation. It should lead ?to a rejuvenation of
the field. Whether or not it does, there is a great deal to learn
here about organizations and relevant professional practice.’

-Russell Ackoff, professor emeritus, Wharton School, University of
Pennsylvania

‘Two of the leaders of the field of OD have collaborated to
present us with a compelling and controversial state of the
art.’

-Len Schlesinger, vice chairman and chief operating officer,
Limited Brands

‘The book challenges OD consultants to think broadly about their
organizational roles and to assert their rightful place in
organizations.’

-Jean M. Bartunek, Robert A. and Evelyn J. Ferris Chair Professor
of Organization Studies, Boston College
