What does it really take to achieve effective change? This text identifies the key areas for action, illustrates the kinds of action needed, and describes the personal and corporate capabilities that underlie successful corporate change in virtually all situations. It will help you understand why managing an organization through change requires actions and capabilities beyond those needed for high organizational performance today. The book provides a powerful framework for action based on detailed quantitative analysis of 243 cases of corporate change. The framework is practical because it provides the basis for action by managers in their own circumstances. It is powerful because the evidence that it works in both private and public sectors is compelling. "Change Power" provides the basis for organizational transformation required for sustained high performance. It uses numerous examples to show the relevance of its central concepts in the real world faced by managers. And it demonstrates an action planning process to manage change effectively. The book is the outcome of six years of research by Dennis Turner and Michael Crawford.
Dennis Turner, a Professor of Management, combines senior and chief executive experience in retailing, manufacturing and the public sector with teaching and research activity at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Dr Michael Crawford combines high academic achievement with running his own consulting business. Just as the authors blend scholarship with management experience so does "Change Power".
