Description
Transform your organisation with speed and efficiency using this insightful new resource
Incremental improvement is no longer sufficient in helping organisations navigate the complexity, uncertainty, and volatility of today's world. In Change: How Organizations Achieve Hard-to-Imagine Results in Uncertain and Volatile Times, authors John P. Kotter, Vanessa Akhtar, and Gaurav Gupta explore how to create non-linear, dramatic change in your organisation. You'll discover the emerging science of change that teaches us about how to build organisations – from businesses to governments – that change and adapt rapidly.
In Change you'll discover:
- Why the ability of organisations to deal with threats and take advantage of opportunities in the face of ever greater complexity and uncertainty is being severely challenged
- In-depth, evidence-based, actionable solutions for dealing with institutional resistance to change
- Case studies and success stories that describe organisations who have successfully built the ability to change quickly into their DNA
- A universal approach for how to dramatically improve outcomes from various change efforts, including: strategy execution, digital transformation, restructuring, and more
Perfect for managers, executives, and leaders at companies of all types and sizes, Change will also prove to be a valuable asset to other professionals who serve these organisations. This book is for anyone seeking a proven approach for delivering fast, sustainable, and comprehensive results.
