Synopsis

The book is about global, organisational and personal transformation. It describes an approach to of bringing about organisation transformation, leading change and learning, all at the same time. This approach, called Real Time Development, is based on the idea of not separating learning and changing; not using a didactic approach but instead helping people learn and make changes at the same time. It encourages people to trust their own creativity and wisdom and challenges too. Bruce believes that everyone in an organisation and its key stakeholders need to be involved for transformation to succeed. It is written for leaders at all levels, including CEO's, directors, managers and internal and external consultants. It presents leading edge ideas in straightforward, accessible language. The book aims to be both inspiring and practical. The book is presented in three parts - Part one: Seeing the big global picture; Part two: Principles, strategies and tools for transformation; and, Part three: Taking practical steps. It contains a Strategic Leadership Model, a well tried process for facilitating strategic change and learning.
