Managing Change: The Science of Happy Endings

Cracking the Change Management Code

The Project Management Institute reports that “only 58% of organisations fully understand the value of project management…[and] …only 23% use standardised practices …”. Additionally, a PwC study of over 10k projects found that a tiny portion of companies (2.5%) successfully completed 100% of their projects. Cracking the Change Management Code focuses on the human aspect of change management. It makes an important, often neglected assertion: change is all about people and how best to manage them. After all, an organisation’s resources are its most important asset.

The book gives a brief history of Behavioural Change Management (BCM) before outlining effective strategies and best practices to manage people in helping the organisation achieve its objectives.

Topics include an introduction to NLP, effective negotiation strategies, why good persuasion skills are essential in business change, how to overcome blockers to organisational change and manage conflict, plus how best to motivate in the workplace. The impact of COVID-19 on organisational behaviour and what the change landscape may look like moving forward are also covered before presenting the argument that organisations cannot afford to neglect digital transformation if they want to enhance the growth of their business.

This book is an excellent guide for new change managers and project managers who want to learn more about the subject of change in large organisations.
