Hi Jo,
check out Kurt Lewin, he is the founder of Action Research. He kicked off in America in the 1940's using the model he developed to enable the empowerment of communities (that were work and none work situated). His work has been built on since by Chris Argyris and Donald Shon who developed Action Science, their work is organisation based but still features empowering those within organisations to bring about change. Also check out Eric Trist who worked with Lewin but in the UK who developed models of working with disempowered work groups (coal mining) and developed action learning. the models are all similar, they look simple but they are all about change which of course is not simple at all. The focus is on experiential learning, or 'action' and the test is whether the theories we develop will actually work in practice, those closest to the 'problems' have the answers.
