About this title

Review:

'The authors of Strategic Organizational Change...bring together the emotional and practical elements of a strategic change program - often authors only concentrate on one or the other - and add an important focus on flexibility, creativity and spontaneity that's often missing. This thoughtful book might help you to improve your own strategic change process.' - Harvey Schachter, Globe and Mail, Canada
