Leave piecemeal strategic change approaches behind and learn how to plan, facilitate, and integrate your change efforts for lasting success. Enterprise-Wide Change takes you through the "Rollercoaster of Change," showing you how to deal with resistance, regard skeptics as your best friends, and build a buy-in and stay-in strategy among your employees. The authors use the science of "Systems Thinking"-a comprehensive, yet simple and integrated way to analyze and build synergy from all key organizational elements needed for enterprise-wide and transformational change. This seminal book integrates what is needed to effectively transform any organization including: scanning of the environment and marketplace, clarifying the vision and core values, targeting marketplace value-added positioning, building key outcome success measures and goals, identifying critical business and human issues and opportunities, and developing the shared core strategies and action plans.
With this one-of-a-kind integrated resource, you will:
- Learn to make smart decisions based on the only integrated change and OD systems model and science that builds on all the outstanding concepts, interventions, and techniques introduced by experts in the OD field over the past fifty years
- Understand how to transfer these changes and OD interventions and applications to any sector, be it public, private, or not-for-profit
- Improve any type of change processes and structures using an incredible tool chest of practical questions, summaries, case studies, examples, and worksheets as well as system tools, tips, and techniques found nowhere else
