Block (2011) states, "The option is to involve the whole client system much more directly in redefining the problem, naming a desired future, outlined alternative actions, and deciding how to proceed. Many consultants and support people have adopted the whole-system approach and redefined their role to be one of convening people to collectively develop a change strategy" (p. 176). Block introduces his concept of a whole-system discovery process and can be used in a workplace evaluation.
