“…Beyond the Nordic countries there is a global audience. Even this audience can, however, be reached only if there is some kind of shared frame of reference, something that does, in turn, demand some social relationships that can provide understanding and trust (Ennals & Gustavsen, 1998).…”

In efforts to combine theory and practice, action research confronts a challenge that pertains to all kinds of research. It is, consequently, a challenge that is subject to much discussion, not least in fields like epistemology. These discussions provide valuable points and insights but they cannot be converted directly into research positions, which also demand consideration of practical issues. When research sets out to learn from practices a new challenge emerges: how is this learning to take place? Can the single researcher understand the world or is there a need for social relationships between (many) actors to develop this learning? This contribution discusses the theory-practice challenge and the need for new forms of social relationships within the research community itself.

“…Gustavsen's concept of development coalitions (Ennals & Gustavsen, 1999;Ennals, 2014) has been applied at local, regional, national, and European levels. It provides a unifying theme for his work on organizational change.…”

“…They host distinctive patterns of innovation. Gustavsen's networking projects have compared experience in many countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, and the UK (Ennals & Gustavsen, 1999). Gustavsen has suggested the concept of regions of meaning (Gustavsen, 2004), thus escaping the constraints of geography.…”

“…According to Ennals the Green Paper combines in essence a legalistic discussion of the regulatory conditions which might help or hinder workplace flexibility visibly stitched together with an open-ended call for measures by governments and social partners to stimulate participative working practices. Nonetheless it provided a rallying point for those who had been advocating recognition of workplace innovation, and there was high expectation that specific policy interventions would follow (Ennals, 1998;Ennals et al, 2004 (Totterdill et al, 2012a). ACTEUR was re-launched in 1997 as the European Work Organisation Network (EWON) to support the policy of 'a new organisation of work' and instigated a series of policy dialogues, conferences and research projects until 2002, accompanied by a news bulletin.…”

Workplace innovation is gaining profile as an emerging European policy, creating organisational performance and quality jobs. DG GROW and DG EMPL are leading. Policies regarding work organisation and workplace innovation in the EU over the last 20 years used to be rather fragmented, but more coherence is likely to develop in the near future. Besides social partners and government-and EU-officials a major role was played by European Networks of Applied Researchers. They provided the theories that are part of the foundation of such policies. The evidence for the positive effects of workplace innovation stimulated many entrepreneurs and managers to apply it. National programs appear to be helpful, in particular where coalitions of employers' associations, trade unions, governments and research institutes exist. However, this is still a minority. More research is needed into the obstacles and the mechanism to promote implementation. 14 F. Pot et al.
