Recommendation

Change experts Gregory P. Shea and Cassie A. Solomon have helped promote successful change in financial services, professional services, manufacturing, health care, telecom, information services, education and government. They discuss – sometimes a bit repetitively – the two essential requirements of organizational change and the “eight levers of change.” They clearly explain the best way for organizations to plan and manage change using their “work systems model,” which relies on creating change scenarios and demonstrating new behaviors. getAbstract recommends their approach to executives at companies of any size.

Take-Aways

  • Half to three-quarters of organizational change efforts fail.
  • These failures happen because leaders state vague goals and misjudge the power of the work environment in promoting or inhibiting change.
  • To create change, first create an environment that facilitates it.
