OVERVIEW
This book was written for all managers who have been given the difficult task of bringing change to their organizations. It addresses organizational change at the working level. It is a user's guide in change management, written by a user, for users. This is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to know, step by step, how to implement change successfully.
FEATURES
Draws on the author's wealth of practical experience and emphasizes that the elements of change are interrelated, that they constitute a Web of Change: change one element and you must see what the impact will be on the others.
Identifies and explains eight key elements of change.
A way to measure change in each element and its affect on the others is presented on paper and through a computer program on an enclosed disk.

Conclusion
This book addreses a market that has really not been tapped. There are many books out there about change but none that address it from a users perspective. This is a "how to do it" book that helps those of you tasked with the difficult process of change in your company to effectively address the issues and make the change process a success. As I say in Chapter 1, "it does more than start you on the road, it accompanies you on the journey." It is well worth your while to obatin a copy and use it as you go through the process.
