Tavistock Institute

The Tavistock Institute is a not-for-profit organisation which undertakes consultancy, research and professional development. We publish the scholarly journal Human Relations and host Evaluation - The International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice. We help organisations learn and develop through innovation and change, working with the technical and emotional challenges involved. We have consistently been at the cutting edge of participative and action research approaches and applied them, for example, to ground-breaking organisation and evaluation support. We integrate different approaches from the social sciences to give our clients a deep understanding of their issues and potential ways forward. We bring assumptions to the surface and work with the unpredictable, including what is hidden, and sometimes, unconscious.
