welcome rather than a dreaded concept. however, this book is not a “one size fits all” simplistic panacea to all change, whatever the circumstances. instead, it offers considered insights into the many frameworks, models and ways of approaching change and helps the reader to apply the right approach to each unique
situation. topics include:
• individual change;
• team change;
• organizational change;
• leading change;
• structural change;

• cultural change;
• it-based process change;
• complex change;
• how best to implement change.

Does what it says on the tin
I am presently developing a training module on "Facilitating change" and quickly reviewed a variety of change titles which sit in our University book shelves.
On initial glance this looked like one of the more approachable texts. This books brings together a variety of insights and theories some well known and others not so well known (well to me anyway). Having initially glanced at it I took the book home and having read the chapters of interest I can say that it was exactly what I was looking for.
It has certainly assisted me in the design stage of my training module.
Judging by the the number of copies of the 1st edition in our library I can only assume that this is a key text for a number of our Business School modules.
