    This article is about how to manage teams, and, in particular, the specific issues around managing international teams of people in a variety of configurations. Rather than telling ‘war stories’ about cultural differences and drawing superficial generalisations, the article focuses on practical management issues that need to be considered when assembling and controlling the team, including organisational matters, values, standards and norms, team selection, and training.

    Creating Space for Organizational Change – new Interventions

    In recent years we’ve seen important changes in the relationship between clients and consultants. From traditional “write a report” style consulting, interventions are now likely to be all-embracing in terms of issues and participation, dealing with both personal and business issues, integrating a range of approaches, and flexible rather than rigid. This chapter concentrates on approaches to working creatively with groups, where the role of the consultant is to be expert, not in the specifics of the client’s problem, or in diagnosis of “illness” and prescription of appropriate remedies, but rather in the process of change, in helping the client address their own issues.

    Thinking Outside The Box

    You may have heard the expression “thinking outside the box”, as in “what we need is some out of the box thinking”. But what is "the box" anyway? Just imagine that there was a simple, easy-to-use way of helping your clients, think creatively AND usefully - one that meant that you, at least, were never stuck. Maybe, if we can draw the box, we can find ways out of it.
