The Guide to Follow Through Change Management

Most change management books I've read are about "managing change" into an organization. This book captures a model to manage the follow through on change - managing how the change is being received by those affected. This book has helped me understand why managing change into an organization is received well by some and not by others and to determine the gaps I need to look for. If you think you've managed the "sending" of the change into the organization, then read this book to learn how to follow through on change management by understanding the "receiving" of change.

Finally! A practical approach to change

Now there is a practical guide for employees to determine their readiness to organizational change. It's easy to read, easy to understand and affordable. The ADKAR model allows the employee to examine five elements that are necessary for change: awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, reinforcement.The evaluation worksheet gives the ability to quickly assess the area(s)on which to expend your time and energy for succesful change. In addition, there is a section for employees that are part of a change management team. This section gives research data on successful teams in the areas of team structure, planning, design, implementation, communications and training.Prosci Research fid a fine job of incorporating reasearch and practice. If you manage people, this book is a must.
