n 1971, Werner Erhard developed The est Training, an. approach to individual and
I social transformation in which over 460,000 individuals have participated over the
last thirteen years . He is the founder of Werner Erhard and Associates, which
sponsors, in addition to the Training, workshops and seminars on communica-
tion, language, and productivity in the United States, Canada, South America,
Western Europe, Australia, Israel, and India . He has formed a number of partnerships to
apply his method of inquiry to business, education, government, and the health profes-
sion, including The Center for Contextual Study (psychotherapy), Transformational
Technologies (management and leadership), and Hermenet Inc. (language and computers).
Because much of Mr. Erhard's recent work has focused on transformation in corpora-
tions and because his influence has been so broad, we asked our guest editor, Norman
Bodek, to interview him in his San Francisco office . What follows is a discussion not only
of transformation in the workplace, but of the art and discipline of transformation itself.
