Book - organization assessment

Organizational Assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Consulting (Purchased on 08/04/2008) by Harry Levinson Book was in condition as advertised and was delivered in a timely manner.

An invaluable source of information on the "organizational assessment" process.

Particularly for those who are considering consulting work, or who are just getting started in the consulting field, this is a most well-written,invaluable source of information on the "organizational assessment" process.

A gem of a book for understanding organization IN DEPTH!

As consultants in the field of organization design and change, we have long valued this author's "Organizational Diagnosis," a classic work now out-of-print. The current volume brings this original volume back, but fully updated and highly streamlined. The book takes a diagnostic approach influenced by a psychoanalytical background and psychosocial framework. It is a robust manual for assessing an organization in depth, and outlines a mode for gathering information. Rather than plunge into some recipe for organizational change, this book shows how to understand an organization from many perspectives. Based on this knowledge, a strategy for change can be developed. In addition to examples of proposals, letters to employees, interview questions, and feedback reports, the book presents an excellent assessment outline for use on-site. The work is built on extensive research and is ideal for external and internal consultants and graduate-level students. This book is a gem!-a one-of-kind work that is extraordinary in its comprehensiveness and depth.
