Organizational Change Review Desk – YouTube Playlist

Introduction

(updated 06/01/21)

This lockdown playlist has featured my highly opinionated reviews of organizational change literature. If nothing else, I have enjoyed the distraction of this creative process. Critical thinking primarily informs my review choices rather than my reviews. I concentrate on the literature that I appreciate and I celebrate that literature, rather than objectively reviewing it. There are some critical reviews, but the ‘dodgy’ organizational change literature doesn’t really merit the time and energy it takes to create a video.

1. Introduction to the OCRD playlist.
2. The Dynamics of Planned Change. (Lippitt, Watson and Westley, 1958).
3. Politics of change: The discourses that inform organizational change and their capacity to silence. (McMillan, 2016)

No. 10, ends on an appreciative note, celebrating one of my favourite contributions to the leading organizational change and transformation debate.
