Change Fluency: 9 Principles to Navigate Uncertainty and Drive Innovation
When disruption strikes, most leaders freeze. The best ones become fluent.
In 2035, tech giant Artemis loses 300 million users overnight to a quantum-powered competitor. VP of Product Lee faces an extinction-level crisis that forces him to question everything he knows about innovation and change.
Through Lee’s transformative journey—and real-world case studies from Spotify’s radio disruption to Nintendo’s pivot from cards to consoles—innovation strategist Jay Kiew reveals nine principles that separate leaders who merely survive disruption from those who drive it.
Drawing from over $2 billion in transformation impact from more than four hundred organizations, Kiew uses a Change Fluency model to show how the most successful leaders don’t just manage change, they become fluent in it. Just as you master a new language, you can use Change Fluency to translate uncertainty from challenge into opportunity.
Part parable, part playbook, Change Fluency equips managers, executives, and leaders to discover what’s possible, design the future, and differentiate from the standard when everything feels the same.
Complete with practical exercises and a companion AI coach, this isn’t just another change management book. It’s your guide to making innovation work for you.
In a world where change is the only constant, fluency isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Change Fluency is a refreshingly modern guide for leaders facing rapid disruption. The story-driven approach following Lee as Artemis collapses under a quantum powered competitor makes the principles feel immediate and grounded rather than abstract. The blend of parable, practical case studies, and real-world transformation insights creates a balance that’s both engaging and genuinely useful.
The nine principles are presented clearly, with thoughtful exercises and a strong focus on turning uncertainty into strategic opportunity. The companion AI coach is a smart addition that helps translate ideas into action. This is a solid pick for readers looking to strengthen resilience, sharpen innovation skills, and lead confidently when everything around them is shifting.
