Handbook of Large Group Methods
 Large
Group Interventions are methods used to gather a whole system
together to discuss and take action on the target agenda.
That agenda varies from future plans, products, and services,
to redesigning work, to discussion of troubling issues and
problems.
The Handbook of Large Group Methods takes the next step in
demonstrating through a series of cases how Large Group Methods
are currently being used to address Twenty-First–Century
challenges in organizations and communities today, including
the following:
- Working with widely dispersed organizations,
and the problem of involvement and participation
- Working with organizations facing a serious
business crisis
- Working with organizations in polarized
and politicized environments
- Working in community settings with diverse
interest groups
- Working at the global level and adapting
these methods for cross-cultural use
- Embedding and sustaining new patterns
of working together in organizations and communities
Reviews
“There is nothing more important
in a complex, global interdependent world than to have some
road maps and driving instructions on how to manage change
in large systems. Bunker and Alban have provided the essential
concepts of Large Group Methods, case examples, and, most
important, prescriptions for how to manage large systems change
successfully. This is a must-read for all enterprise managers.”

“This book offers an exceptional
look at large group process, brought to life by powerful stories
from real organizations and communities. There’s no
better way to understand the methodology and its potential.
This extraordinary collection of stories demonstrates the
power of large group processes in a variety of organizational
settings. I can’t imagine a better way to understand
the methodology and its potential to impact organizations
of all kinds.”
