Large-Scale Interventions for Organizational Change

Overview of Large-Scale Interventions

The field of Organization Development sees large-scale organizational change as being across most or all of an organization. However, with the recent focus on transformational — fundamental and radical — change, practitioners often refer to large-scale interventions as means to accomplish transformational change. Types of large-scale interventions are also referred to as whole systems models.

In Leading Large Scale Change: A Practical Guide, the authors define large-scale change as “the process of mobilising a large collection of individuals, groups and organisations toward a vision of a fundamentally new future state, by means of:
• Key themes that can make a big difference
• A shift in power and a more distributed leadership
• Comprehensive and active engagement of stakeholders
• Mutually reinforcing changes in multiple systems and processes”

The following links gives a broad overview of various large-scale interventions.
