A systemic approach to organizational role and the management of change

French, Robert; Simpson, Peter

Abstract

This paper describes an action research project undertaken over the period of one year with the senior management group of a Civil Service organization. Like much of the UK Public Sector in recent years, this organization has experienced a period of radical change, including restructuring, delayering, and projected staff cuts of approximately 20%. The challenge has been to manage the transition from a traditional bureaucracy to a new organizational form.
