This is a comprehensive book on change management that includes a lot on organisational models. It will help you understand how organisations work (or could work) to ensure the context for change is understood. There are useful case studies, examples and reflection questions as well as signposts to other resources. There is significant coverage of sustainability-related change and the rationale for organisations to change which I felt did not fit so well with the rest of the book.
I'd say this book is aimed at organisational leaders and those involved in transformative change.
This is an updated version of a previously published book to include current/macro trends in the world to help with the context of change. I am embarrassed to say that somehow I missed this book when it was first published and I wish I had known about it! I am glad I have this comprehensive book on my shelf now. This book is for leaders, managers, HR professionals. It is structured to view change from an individual, team and organizational perspective. The first part lays out very inclusively, all the models and frameworks about change. It was great to see these in one book. The second part covers more practical application of these models and frameworks. There are sections on restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, culture and change, etc. The book is not meant to be read cover-to-cover and the authors encourage us to dive in where we need. I also like that they include a table comparing each model of change and their conclusions on the strengths and limitations of each model.
This is the most comprehensive guide I have seen about Managing Change and I highly recommend it.
