- catalog abstract ""Facilitating Organization Change offers all change agents a comprehensive, integrated, and highly effective alternative to traditional change models - the science of complex adaptive systems (CAS). The authors explain how, rather than focusing on the macro "strategic" level of the organizational system, complexity theory suggests that the most powerful change processes occur at the micro level, where relationships, interactions and simple rules shape emerging patterns. Like a jazz ensemble's performance mixes complex interactions between individual musicians, their instruments, and the audience, so too does creativity and efficiency emerge naturally within organizations. Facilitating Organization Change details how the emerging paradigm of a CAS affects the role of change agents, tells how they can build the requisite skills to function in a CAS, and provides tips for thriving in that new paradigm."--Jacket.".
