ABSTRACT

This part introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters. The part concentrates more specifically on how to make change happen and how to embed that change. It deals with the realities of organisational life and under what conditions real positive change and social cohesion can occur. The part outlines how successful change is achieved, how we carry out organisational health checks, and how to create high-performance teams. It examines actual case studies from very different organisations in different parts of the world where these ideas have been put into practice. The part considers overall what is required to create an organisation that encourages Productive Social Cohesion. It propose a Charter of Employment that if implemented provides checks and balances to arbitrary decisions, the exercise of power and exploitation. This can then create the environment where people willingly give of their best and are able to use their capabilities productively and creatively.
