Uitgaande van het Whole-Scale Change-paradigma houden de auteurs een pleidooi voor zorgvuldige wanorde als aanpak van veranderingen. Aan de hand van een aantal nieuwe veranderprincipes en met behulp van - ook in Nederland bekende - interventiemethoden als Real-Time Strategic Change, Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry en World Café wordt in dit paradigma afstand genomen van de stereotype afdelings- en echelonsgewijze veranderaanpak. Dit leidt tot nieuwe theoretische inzichten, die hier worden geïllustreerd met actuele praktijkvoorbeelden, interventiebeschrijvingen en richtlijnen voor het organiseren van een dialoog, participatief veranderen en het werken met grote en kleine groepen.

Het Praktijkboek Large Scale Intervention bundelt verschillende ervaringen van diverse praktijkbeoefenaars van Whole-Scale^TM Change. Tezamen beschrijven zij hoe WSC er concreet uitziet en wat er gebeurt als je probeert een verbinding te maken tussen de harde en zachte kanten van de organisatie en tussen mensen en afdelingen.

De auteurs gaan in op vragen als: Waar dien je op te letten? Wat moet je vooral (niet) doen? Wat is de rol van de adviseur/procesbegeleider en van de opdrachtgever? Hoe ontwerp je interventies voor kleine of grote groepen? Hoe zorg je dat het energiepeil hoog blijft?

In acht praktijkcases vertellen een aantal ervaringsdeskundigen en hun opdrachtgevers hoe ze samen met leidinggevenden, medewerkers en andere stakeholders pieken en dalen in veranderprocessen hebben meegemaakt, en vooral ook wat zij ervan hebben geleerd.
