This is a different book on change management: Using commonsense and practical advice tested in their work with over 150 organizations, Lientz and Rea, authors of the best-selling Breakthrough Technology Project Management, walk the reader through concrete guidelines and clear checklists to implement change that really works. This book presents a comprehensive, proven approach that provides for substantial change through quick hits rather than radical disruptive change. It also takes the approach of including IT in the solution and change on a proactive basis. Lasting change cannot be sustained without modern IT systems and technology. Readers will develop a change management strategy that starts by diagnosing the current culture and organization, then prepares for change carefully, addresses resistance to change, develops the change strategy, measures results, builds momentum for further change, and prevents deterioration and reversion. The authors then apply their framework to two areas that are major targets for change management:
· implementing new technology and systems
· implementing successful e-business strategies
Included throughout are real-world examples from a number of industries and government.
