Focusing on Organizational Change

This text offers an alternative to the traditional approach by focusing on building the change capacity of the entire organization in anticipation of future pressures to change. Based on systematic research of more than 5,000 respondents working within more than 200 organization or organizational units conducted during the previous decade. While building organizational change capacity is not fast or easy, it is essential for effective leadership and organizational survival in the 21st century.
