Managing Organizational Change

About this title

Review:

"Having a great strategy is only one element in gaining a competitive advantage. Understanding how to manage the resulting change into your company is equally important. These truly practical tools will help experienced leaders looking for ideas to jump start their change initiatives and those starting to build change capability for the first time. In the same way that other landmark books have turned out to be a timeless resource for managers, this book will become the guide for leaders to assess and build change capability in their organizations." (Caroline Perkins, President, Change Management Institute)

"They say a picture paints a thousand words. Well this book has both. It is professional, sophisticated yet practical and easy to follow and understand. Change is about action. Not careless, reckless, thoughtless action but coordinated, well-orchestrated well-led plans. This book will help any leader or aspiring leader become a successful change agent. Helen's book will help ensure you and your team SURVIVE!" (Pat Meyer, CEO, ICNet International)

"Helen's book is one of those rare times that a successful practitioner finds time to share their tips and techniques on how to manage organisational change well. It answers all those nagging doubts - that anyone has who has either initiated or been on the receiving end of change - as to whether there is a better way. It does so clearly, honestly and with that hard-to-find blend of pragmatism and theoretical strength." (Amanda Morgan, General Manager, Financial Services, ASX 100 company)

"Managing change is the Holy Grail for every organization. The path to successfully managing the benefits is all too often skewed by the people factor. Helen Campbell simplifies the complexity of managing change. Based on her years of experience she provides a practical and easy-to-apply approach and set of tools for tackling organizational change, including its traps of which the most diverse and difficult is the issue of managing the people involved or affected by change, all the while keeping an eye on a successful and profitable project outcome, moving the organisation forward." (Dr Janet V Cole, Ph.D., Principal Lecturer, Field Leader for Computing Studies, Kingston University)

"This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to avoid the common pitfalls that cause so many organizational changes to fail, as it brings much needed clarity and structure to this subject." (Simon Ewin, Business Director, Chartered IT Professional, Telecommunications Company)
