This volume includes contributions from authors who have published in the first few volumes, contributions that examine the impact of the research published in the series on OD&C research, theoretical developments and practice. Highlights include contributions from Bill Pasmore and Dick Woodman as well as David Coghlan that focus on the essence and impact of the research reported in the last 24 volumes and possible research trajectories; Philip Mirvis and Mitchell Marks- the second recipients of the Pasmore-Woodman award (AOM 2016) on the highs and lows of co-researching; David Cooperrider on the evolution of Appreciative Inquiry since the foundation manuscript was published in ROCD Volume 1 (1987); Todd Jick & Kinthi Sturtevant who take stock of 30 years of change management, asking questions of and about its future and; Marvin Weisbord’s reflection on forty years of being a scholarly-practitioner in the field.

Other contributors explore the role that identity plays in achieving strategic change; the merger process of two academic institutions; and the power of using a systems psychodynamic frame, attending to group dynamics, conducting psycho-social research, and viewing self-as-instrument as a rigorous method of sense-making when engaged in research and practice in the field.
