ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines how certain methods may be used to support transitional change in organizations. The transitional approach to organizational change is one in which management attempts to enhance organizational learning as much as possible. The transitional use of Network management and performance helps in moving issues from the political world of management to the strategic world of performance. Strategic analysis of organizations is a mode of reasoning that, as a method, helps understanding of how organizations function, and indeed of how they malfunction, in ways that are logical for many stakeholders. The Interactive worksheets (IW) method differs from the prevalent approach to organizational phenomena in modern Western organizations, which is to depict organizational settings or business challenges through text and numbers. IW pictures information in a "cartographic" manner. The scenario method moves an organizational setting sufficiently far away into the future that it "unfreezes" the present situation of that setting.
