The Little Black Book of Change: The 7 Fundamental Shifts for Change Management That Delivers

Mike Straw and Paul Adams have co-authored this "must have" book that demystifies organisational transformation in 7 practical steps that any business or company can adopt.

Your go-to-guide to delivering effective and transformative change that lasts

All too often, change efforts fail to deliver on their promise. However it is possible to turn an organization around quickly to create a new future — one where people think and behave differently and deliver extraordinary results together. Whether you are the chairman, a board director or an aspiring senior executive, The Little Black Book of Change provides a practical, concise and insightful guide to understanding your organization and inventing something extraordinary. It is not about ‘run of the mill' change programmes. It is about delivering extraordinary results — something that is not at all predictable. It will be your insight into creating significant shifts in the way people think and behave which can be applied in any area you wish; from improving service levels to cost reductions, innovation or increasing market share.

The book is based on real business case studies and is full of grounded and accessible, rather than purely from theoretical, models or processes.

The authors have a combined experience totalling 25 years of implementation and facilitating transformation change in organisations.
