Welcome to Soundview's summary-in-brief of Change with Confidence:
Answers to the 50 Biggest Questions That Keep Change Leaders Up at Night,
written by Phil Buckley. Buckley is a senior Change Management Professional
with over 20 years of experience developing and executing
change strategies to achieve aggressive business goals
across global businesses in Canada,
the Americas, and the U.K. He has managed
27 large-scale change projects.
In Change with Confidence, Buckley's extensive practical experience working
on
change initiatives lends a hands-on style to his delivery
of how to make a big change project successful. The book is actually
organized around questions that were repeatedly raised during the projects he
worked on.
Change is about people, Buckley reminds us.
And with all change projects, you will have to help people move from how they
currently
think and act to new ways of thinking and acting. It is important to spend the time
to
understand where they are now and where they need to be.
From this, you'll glean what needs to change,
how big of a change is required, and how difficult
it will be to make. Change with Confidence walks us through the process
of planning for change, managing change,
and making sure the change sticks. It is a comprehensive guide
for anyone faced with the assignment of leading a large
change project. It is straightforward advice
for change leaders from someone who's been there.
