Profile and Personal Reflections

Gareth Morgan is Distinguished Research Professor at the Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto.
He is a writer and management consultant, who places particular emphasis on the use of metaphor to understand the dynamics of organisations and the challenges of change.

I first saw Morgan in action at a full-day session of the Independent Change Management Forum in 1997, in which he explored various aspects of metaphor, paradox and organisational change. This reinforced my attraction to the use of metaphor and analogy as language and thinking tools. His discussion of the paradoxical nature of organisations sparked my current interest in this important, but under-explored aspect of organisational dynamics.

Imaginization: An invitation to a new way of thinking about organization and management.

Imaginization is a way of thinking. It's a way of organizing. It's a key managerial skill. It provides a way of helping people understand and develop their creative potential. It offers a means of finding innovative solutions to difficult problems.

Imaginization is an amazing book: practical, deadly serious, light-hearted, accessible, powerful, and fun.
