Abstract
Organisation development consultants in their work in organisations can find that managers, teams, groups and organisations frequently act out of what is, in effect, a distortion of reality. Distortions seriously impair an organisation′s functioning and affect the ability to manage change effectively. Some common distortions are identified on each of the four organisational levels. Process consultants intervene to confront distortions and to facilitate reflection on how the distortions arise.Keywords
