The Action Lab: Creating a Greenhouse for Organizational Change

Could this apply to ED organizations? I believe so.

Bringing about radical change in massive, mature corporations presents enormous challenges. Richard Pascale and Anne Miller explain how three such companies used “Actions Labs” to overcome the usual blocks to change. These three – Shell, Cummins Engine and British Gas each faced their own set of challenges, but all used Action Labs to launch a short, extremely intensive collective effort to generate needed changes not in 24 to 36 months, but in weeks. Pascale and Miller provide enough detail of the three cases to give the reader a concrete picture of the process. Source: ManyWorlds
