| Abstract: | As the process of organisational change is frequently, if not typically, a complex somewhat messy sequence of plans , meetings, conflicts, revisions and compromises between individuals, teams across the inter-departmental group in order that an organization adapt to environmental forces driving change (Rashford & Coghlan 1994), it is more than useful to reflect on how such complex processes can be researched. The research presented here was undertaken through action science which addresses how the generation of data in a social system with a view to helping the system learn about itself is a scientific process. |
