2.5 stars. I don't know what I expected. These are good articles, but nothing groundbreaking. Lots of jargon and corporate case studies, not a lot that I think would actually be relevant for my day-to-day.

A useful and insightful book on how to implement change and sustain it within an organisation.

Lots of transferable knowledge and excellent working examples in each chapter of how different methods have been implemented and the successes/challenges of these.

I always worry with books like this that they can be too academic or jargon-based (especially as I'm in education with very little buisness-based private sector experience), but with this book that wasn't the case.

It was easy to digest with some key take away messages for me:

*guided coalition
*keep rejectors at arms length, but use their insight where appropriate
*keep an eye on your quest, and make sure its appropriate. Keep it simple, and focus only on ONE
*culture isn't the culprit
*complementary systems is key, a clear balance between hierarchy and strategy
