An excellent point of reference for prospective, new or experienced education advisers and leaders, which focuses on organisational development in education.
Divided into three parts, the book explores the specifics of advising on organisational development in the context of change, planning for organisational effectiveness, and the impact of leadership on performance. It presents a diverse range of perspectives from multi-academy trust (MAT) leaders, headteachers, key influencers and education advisers working at local, regional, national, and international levels. Many of the chapters focus on real case work and conclude with the authors' analyses of impact, resulting in a thorough, insightful and practical guide for those working in an advisory capacity with education leaders. Case scenarios also encourage readers to reflect on and consider applying some of these approaches in their own practice. Chapters address key aspects of:
• empowering leaders through effective organisational development
• future-proofing your organisation
• responding to and working with political change
• making change work for your organisation
• the importance of governance in sustaining organisational development
• organisational development within the school setting
Readers, throughout the book, are encouraged to understand more fully the intricacies of organisational effectiveness, enabling them to further hone their advisory skillset and support leaders in continuing to improve the quality of education for all children and young people.
