Making it Happen in Public Service - Devolution in Wales as a Case Study (Paperback)

The book examines the change management strategies and processes employed to ensure that the Labour Government's commitment to devolution became a reality in Wales. As such, it is an account of constitutional, cultural, organizational and human change set within a dynamic political context and is based on unprecedented research access to devolution papers and the politicians and civil servants (past and present) concerned with the changes. It also demonstrates the role of leadership in such changes and makes a substantial contribution to organizational learning theory.
