Abstract

The work of professionals involves learning that underpins the essence of change, yet relational aspects of professional work are generally underrated and undervalued, and remain invisible. This is because everyone’s interest is more in the results – the outcomes of what is being changed. The importance of healthy collaborations with stakeholders across practices and boundaries in reaching a common understanding of complex issues before co-constructing solutions facilitates responsive collaborations needed for genuine change in mindsets and practices. Doing what matters most indicates serious commitment through mutuality. This book edited by Anne Edwards is founded on the interests of all those involved in projects – professionals, end users, clients, etc. This book is the first collation of international cases on making relational work visible. It builds on a comprehensive set of earlier research and publications by Edwards. The contributions from international authors provide practical examples of relational work by professionals and the outcomes of such work. The examples give credence to the importance of relational work.
