Being change capable is the "new normal" for today's growth-minded
organizations. The "do more with less" strategies of the past are
no longer effective in preparing organizations to meet the
increasing challenges for growth, competitiveness and innovation
required of them in this new era. Business change challenges
including customer and market shifts, legal and regulatory
requirements, strategic redirection, acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, and cultural transformation are demanding that
organizations effectively and efficiently manage change across
multiple dimensions. To reach this level of change capability,
organizations must adopt an integrated, balanced and customized
approach to change management. Change management is addressed from
the unique perspective of both its foundational concepts as well as
practical application. Using an integrated, scalable and flexible
framework, this book provides tools which can be readily customized
and applied to initiatives across or within stages of the business
change management lifecycle, from assessing the need for change,
through planning the change initiative, designing a balanced change
solution which integrates the people, process, and project
management elements, through deploying and institutionalizing the
change. Common risks associated with failed or stalled change
initiatives are presented with best practices and key topics
associated with change management are explored and illustrated
through real-life case studies. Aimed at both the professionals
within organizations and post graduate students and researchers
within business strategy, organizational behaviour and change
management disciplines, this book will provide a conceptual
understanding of change management and a roadmap with a supporting
toolbox for leading and implementing change that sticks.

Despite its importance, few companies have cracked the code on
strategic planning. Meetings occur, white boards are filled, and
then somehow, magic happens - a binder appears, supposedly
summarizing the decisions agreed to by the leadership team.
Unfortunately, that is where the magic ends. The strategic plan is
rarely used and left to languish on a credenza till next year. Most
strategic planning books focus on theoretical frameworks or rely on
an approach endorsed by a single "ideal company." Generic models
and classroom-inspired case studies rarely hold up to the rigors of
the real world. And though it's true that some companies have
obtained success in strategic planning, there is no guarantee that
their approach will work for your organization - there is no sliver
bullet Written by seasoned practitioners who have applied the tools
in over 200 client companies, Strategic Planning Unleashed provides
a practical, comprehensive playbook for each phase of the process;
Environmental Assessment, Internal Capabilities Assessment,
Strategy Development, and Strategy Deployment. The methodology is
scalable to different sized organizations and includes many
strategic planning tools that are not in the public domain.
Regardless of your company's size, complexity, offering portfolio,
or geographic scope, Strategic Planning Unleashed will help your
organization analyze its external environment, reach consensus on
your sources of competitive advantage, identify a business
strategy, and execute it seamlessly.
Leaders often struggle when faced with the challenge of
restructuring or rightsizing their organizations or redesigning
reporting relationships. Don't make the mistakes many make when
they fail to do appropriate due diligence by addressing the
symptoms of the perceived business problem rather than the root
causes. Check out this practical and informative book first. As the
title suggests, it is a real-world guide to organization design. It
is written by a global corporate executive and management
consultant with 25 years of experience advising senior executives
on strategic change. And it is a rich resource of insight and
hands-on templates and tools designed to ensure you succeed at one
of the toughest jobs a leader will face. ""Organization Design"" is
organized into two sections. Section I presents a primer for
executives on organization design. Section II introduces
organization design methodology. This book addresses such vital
issues as: organization design best practices that should be
incorporated into most projects; the role of executives in leading
and sponsoring a redesign project; how people resist change and
strategies for overcoming resistance to change; an organization
design framework; methodology overview; and, an overview of seven
common organization structures. Included are practical templates to
help you quantitatively prioritize design alternatives, formalize
and clarify the project, optimize how interdependent units work
together, compare and contrast the financial impacts of each design
alternative, conduct a sanity check regarding the future state of
the organization, guide the design of the organization from
selection of the high-level structure to designing roles and jobs,
and handle all the vital tasks ahead with confidence.
