What others have to say:
Great book! This book takes the sometimes overly academic work around change
management and makes it easy, understandable and actionable.
Laura Roethe, Change Management Practice Leader,
CUNA Mutual Group
The principles illustrated in the book are timeless and appropriate to any
condition where things are not static. In fact, they are based upon great quantities of
common sense; so much so that their utilization is not common.
Kim A. Kennedy, General Manager, Industrial Operations,
Blue Diamond
This is a must read. Recognizing the need for change and effectively leading the
correct changes may be the most important leadership role for today's executives. In
today's competitive and uncertain economic environment, change competency may be the key
to success.
E.H. (Gene) Sherman, Founder and CEO,
Baynard Cove Group
Great book on change management - especially the ideas presented on integrating the
organizational and individual elements of change management. The book has forced me to
look at change management in a new way!
Susan L. Schleusner, Project Manager,
Storage Technology Corporation
Change Management is a great book to read if your boss "talks"
about change management, but can't explain what change management is or how to go about
it. This book will give you the foundation you need to manage change and get the results
you are trying to achieve.
Melissa Dutmers, Process Architect,
Agilent
Change Management is like a driving school for change agents. It teaches you
the basic principles and rules for safely navigating changes and offers you insight into
the minds of other "drivers." This book allows professionals to manage change so
that whatever change "vehicle" your company chooses to drive, you will be able
to efficiently and effectively get to wherever your company wants to go.
Michelle Wiginton, Information Technology,
University of Oklahoma
What impressed me the most in the book is the concept of change competency. The
idea that change becomes business as usual. This opened my eyes to the fact that business
and process changes must happen fast and are continuous.
Linda Colston, Process
Development Specialist, Nokia
By far the greatest strength is in the integration of the change process on two
levels: the individual and the organizational (business). Far too often, publications have
emphasized one at the expense of the other, leaving the integration to change management
students with no guidance.
Norma Sutcliffe, Ph.D., Assistant Professor,
DePaul University
The book manages to demystify change management to such an extent that it feels
like one.
