The central premise of this book, apart from the smart way a Solution Focused (SF) approach seeps into the fibre of its pages, is the notion of a ‘Work Evolutionist’. My initial, admittedly cynical, reaction was that this was an appealing title conceived before a theory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The concept is grounded in many years of practice at the cutting edge of organisational development (OD), with SF foundations running throughout.
