BETTER CHANGE: Delivering on
the True Promise of Change Management
It is widely estimated that two out of every three organizational change efforts fail; some estimates are higher.
Clearly, managing change is a tough gig.
BETTER CHANGE: Delivering on the True Promise of Change Management challenges conventional change management approaches and reveals what it really takes to drive successful change.
BETTER CHANGE is written by a practitioner ─ not an academic with no real-world experience or a consultancy trying to land a contract.
Whether you're a change practitioner, change leader, or in a role responsible for implementing change initiatives, BETTER CHANGE will open up and power-up your change playbook, equipping you to:
✔ Implement actions that influence behavior change naturally, not forced;
✔ Acquire C-suite leader engagement and influence manager behavioral alignment to support the powered-up change strategy;
✔ Mitigate resistance and expand people’s self-perceptions of their WIIFM.
Bottom line: BETTER CHANGE enables you to produce results that embody the true promise of change management.
“I think the greatest strength of the book is how it makes the science of change feel relatable and familiar. It’s one of those books where after each point, a reader finds themselves saying, Oh, that makes so much sense. Why didn’t I think of that? That’s a rare trait; a key indicator, in my experience, of a very good book. ”
