102 companies share lessons in managing change
February 26, 1998 - Managing change study results released
ProSci announced today the completion of a nine-month study on how
businesses are managing change. More than 100 companies from 22
countries participated in the study, and contributed their insights and
lessons from major change projects.

change effectively in their organization. Example topics from the study
report include:

The A.K. Rice Institute
Announces
The Fourth International Group Relations Symposium
"Pleasure and Pain in Our Working Life
Between Tradition and Transformation"
To be held at
The Inn and Conference Center
University of Maryland University College
College Park, Maryland
USA
July 29 - Aug 2 1998
Sponsored by:
AGLSO (Sweden)
The A.K. Rice Institute (USA)
The Grubb Institute (UK)
IFSI/FIIS (France)
The Fourth International Group Relations Symposium occurs during a
period of great changes within and among organizations and
institutions. The theme of the symposium, "Pleasure & Pain in our
Working Life - Between Tradition & Transformation" is intended to
provide a space for those who study or work in group relations and
organizational development or who teach in these areas to reflect on
and learn with one another about this theme. We hypothesize that
links are necessary to connect the past and the present with the
future and that spaces need to be sought and discovered to build new
connections and insights.
Every transformation is achieved in tradition and moves through a
period of loss to another place. Individuals and organizations engaged
in transformations often do not consider mourning as a process of
transformation. Given the rapid changes occurring in the world, we
suggest that providing a space for mourning is vital in order for
transformation to occur in a significant way.
The design is intended to provide a variety of opportunities for
participants to discover, experience, reflect on and apply learning
about organizational and institutional transformation.
Membership will be limited to 120 Participants. The application
deadline is July 15th
