Books by Alexander Schieffer

Schieffer and Lessem introduce a groundbreaking development framework and process to address the most burning issues that humanity faces. While conventional top-down, outside-in development has reached a cul-de-sac, a new, integral form of development is emerging around the world. Integral Development uniquely articulates this emergent approach.

The concept of transformation has long been known to the sciences and has been around in the popular vocabulary for several decades. This title provides leaders, students of leadership, managers and change agents with a trans-culturally tested, integrated approach to leadership and management.

How can social research be turned into social or indeed 'integral' innovation? This book explains how the knowledge creation that underpins transformative processes occurs. It shows how research has to be transformative, rather than just informative if it is to contribute usefully to building integrated and sustainable enterprises.
