Wanted to announce my newest book - Implementing Positive Organizational Change: A Strategic Project Management Approach - was published by J Ross Publishing in February 2017.
In today’s increasingly competitive global marketplace, organizations that do not regularly undertake change initiatives will find it difficult—if not impossible—to continue to be successful in the long term.
Most organizations only launch change initiatives when forced to address some pain, such as decreased revenues or profits, where the sole focus is on the benefits to the organization. Often, the people side of change management is overlooked, causing 60-70% of these efforts to fail.
Implementing Positive Organizational Change explains how to develop a continuous improvement culture of change that will be perceived by employees as a positive opportunity to create something new, exciting and valuable, instead of something negative to confront and resist. This comprehensive guide describes how to communicate with and engage stakeholders and employees to gain buy-in and support, and outlines a strategic project management approach that helps ensure successful implementation and desired results.

Hello Gina,
Congratulations on your new book. Great choice for a topic, focusing on the organizational change and the stakeholders reception does markedly influence the outcome of the initiative. Will this be available for electronic download on Amazon for Kindle?

Hello Andre Cassule - unfortunately that is often true! Although recently I have been working with a number of organizations that have been a bit more proactive about change. Thank you for the comment!

I work in a large organization that has tried to implement continuous change but has never really succeeded. I suspect in part, a reluctance to assign it as a project to develop into a program is a cause of many challenges. With the help of a wand, anyone associated to continuous change would have this book.

I have been involved in a number of similar organizations, Ken Bradshaw. For one client, we have been using continuous change teams which rotate each year. They have been tasked with 2 - 4 (depending on the complexity) change initiatives a year. They have a structured approach (following what is in the book) that has been instrumental in ensuring success of their continuous change initiatives.
