Abstract

This chapter argues for and illustrates the value of parody in deliberate and planned organisational change. It documents the use of parody in an organisational theatre event designed to support the senior leadership team in establishing a not-for-profit cancer care facility in Australia. The chapter shows how parody can be used by professionals as an embodied form of learning to support the cognitive and emotional shifts required from diverse leaders in complex organisations undergoing organisational transformation.
