Lean Change Management: Innovative Practices For Managing Organizational Change - Paperback

by Jason Little (Author)

This book will help you implement successful change and bypass change resistance by co-creating change. The book will do that through examples of how innovative practices can dramatically improve the success of change programs. These practices combine ideas from the Agile, Lean Startup, change management, organizational development and psychology communities. This book will change how you think about change.In this book we will cover:

• Why does change resistance emerge and what you should NOT do about it. And of course, how to harness that human reaction to the benefit of all involved in the change process.
• Step-by-step descriptions of how we combined ideas from many change methods and frameworks to develop a customized change management process that was right for The Commission.
• How you can customize your own change program just like we did at The Commission.
• How you can involve the people affected in the change in the design of that change. Directly contributing to the success of the change program.
