Editorial Reviews

Review
"This book is a great resource for managers thrown into the midst of change, who need to gain understanding of what happens when you try to make significant changes in a business, and how best to manage people through it." Andy Newall, Organizational Effectiveness Director, Allied Domecq plc "Helps leaders and managers in organizations to make sense of change management, providing insights into different frameworks and describing ways of approaching change at an individual, team, and organizational level." Journal of Economic Literature "Aimed at any organization that needs to understand why change happens, how it happens and what needs to be done to make a change a welcome, rather than an unwelcome, visitor." Managing Risk "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." Management Services "This is a book that lives up to its title...it really does provide a toolkit to make sense of change." Richard McBain, Director of Studies Distance Learning MBA, Henley Management College "All told, an impressively practical book that will help managers who are looking for ideas rather than instruction." IOD Hertfordshire Magazine "Offers insights into different frameworks and ways of approaching change at an individual, team and organizational level." Emerald Journal 'This impressive book on change is an essential read for any professional manager who is serious about getting to grips with the important issues of making change happen.' Dr Jeff Watkins, MSc Course Director, University of Bristol 'There has long been a need for a readable, practical but theoretically underpinned book on change which recognizes a multiplicity of perspectives. I thoroughly recommend it.' Professor Colin Carnall, Associate Dean, Executive Programme, Warwick Business School, University of Warwick 'I'll definitely be placing copies on a couple of desks at White City...' Nicky Campbell, Presenter, Radio Five Live and BBC1's Watchdog

Customer Reviews

Basic3
This book would be useful if you do not practice as a manager. It provides an elementary overview. If you are a practitioner, I'd recommend Kotter, Beitler, or Bridges.

Making Sense?3
I'm not sure it made that much sense. I was looking for a more practical book on how to do it - how to design an organization based on the needs.

Not Very Practical1
If you are a practitioner you will not find this book very helpful. It has a number of interesting ideas, but they randomly presented. If you are looking for a more systematic or strategic approach, I'd recommend Beitler's Strategic Organizational Change or Kotter's Leading Change.
