Abstract
This chapter is based on my experience and observations as an organisational development practitioner working with diversity as means of contributing to broader transformation processes in South Africa. The diversity interventions to which I refer have been developed and delivered under the auspices of Change Moves, the organisational development agency I co-founded in 1999. We created Change Moves with the vision of contributing to the national transformation process through facilitating people-centred organisational change.
