Rank: #6269249 in BooksBrand: Brand: Palgrave MacmillanPublished on: 2013-05-07Released on: 2013-05-07Original language: EnglishNumber of items: 1Dimensions: 8.50" h x .63" w x 5.50" l, 1.10 pounds Binding: Hardcover249 pagesUsed Book in Good Condition 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Profound, insightfulBy Chris IlesI first encountered Dr. Armstrong years ago when I was working in Pakistan and experiencing the collision of international best practice with what were locally known as “ground realities”. Jim’s insights, founded on many years of field experience applying a holistic approach incorporating real local collaboration to generate sustainable results, resonated with me. We had many subsequent conversations exploring the conceptual and practical implications for development work.In this book Jim further develops his ideas and elaborates a new approach founded on extensive collaboration and local success rather than imported prescriptions. It should be of interest to academics, practitioners, beneficiaries and promoters of capacity development everywhere.A key insight in this book is the application of the collaborative method to identifying and adopting positive deviations – the anomalous instances of good outcomes (i.e. bright spots) amongst generally negative circumstances. This approach leans on intense local engagement to discover what is already working in the community, and places the external change agent outside the realm of technical expert and into a position of facilitation (a much different and seemingly less common skillset). The end result is less a solution to a technical problem (although that is significant) but more the development of a collective understanding of the issues and confidence that local actors can work together to find their own responses to local challenges.The implications for capacity development are profound and the potential benefits enormous. Dr. Armstrong presents cause for optimism that an approach that depends on guiding the acquisition of practical wisdom (rather than applying normative solutions) and that includes finding and building on bright spots can truly develop important capacity where it is needed. It deserves careful attention and, hopefully, sincere discussion across the capacity development community.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.The book we were waiting for! At last, a book that tells the truth about government capacity buildingBy Michel TrahanDr. Jim Armstrong’s book is a must for whoever works at improving government capacity, and especially, for those who are struggling with the traditional approach which too often generates deceptive results.Built upon Dr. Armstrong’s vast experience on the international scene, this book describes, documents and elaborates an emerging approach that, under specific conditions that are well explained, paves the way to long-term success.Dr. Armstrong is a successful leader in building government capacity, not only does he invite us to follow his path, but he provides us with the tools to make a tangible difference.Thank you for sharing with us your lessons learned.Michel Trahan Ph. D.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Capacity Development Wisdom At LastBy RTorsethThe condition of the world calls for more leadership capacity to address wicked problems. Jim Armstrong’s book shows us how to do that work. There are many books that offer advice about hard global problems but few of them come with the grounded experience of Jim Armstrong. He has traveled the planet doing the work he advocates and cataloging the results for us.While he is standing on the shoulders of great research and academics, he has written an understandable and accessible book that easily turns ideas into actions for anyone doing the hard on-the-ground work of leading or facilitating change.Read the others books. Theory is helpful. But take Armstrong’s book into the field with you. You will surely need it and you will profit from his experience while you build your development capacity.RTorsethSee all 3 customer reviews... WOA! - Impacts and Carrying Capacity WOA!
