Read about the Genuine Contact™ Program in The Change Handbook!
We are pleased to announce the inclusion of the Genuine Contact
Program in the 2006 edition of ‘The Change Handbook: The Definitive
Resource on Today's Best Methods for Engaging Whole Systems’.
The new edition is the most comprehensive guide available to methods
of organization and community change. It's designed for quick and
easy access to information about high leverage change from today's
foremost practitioners. This new edition is updated to describe
61 change methods and includes new chapters on selecting a method,
mixing and matching methods, and sustaining results. The Change
Handbook describes each change method’s essential concepts
and processes and provides advice on when to use each.
In 1999, the first edition of The Change Handbook provided
a snapshot of a nascent field that broke barriers by engaging
"whole systems" of people from organizations and
communities in creating their own future. In the last seven
years, the field has exploded. In this completely revised
and updated second edition, lead authors Peggy Holman, Tom
Devane, and Steven Cady profile sixty-one change methods –
up from eighteen in the first edition. Nineteen of these methods
are explored in depth, with case studies, answers to frequently
asked questions, and details on the roles and responsibilities
of the people involved, conditions for success, and more.
This tremendously expanded second edition – 400 pages
longer, nearly twice the length of the first edition –
will undoubtedly become the definitive resource in this rapidly
expanding field.
You can find the Genuine Contact Program included in the
Adaptable Methods section. This chapter highlights the Genuine
Contact Program as a holistic approach that can be used on
its own, or as a platform for using a variety of complementary
change methods including Open Space Technology, Whole Person
Process Facilitation, World Café, Appreciative Inquiry,
and OpenSpace-Online® Real-time Conference software. |
