Valuable Change: What You Need to Know to Ensure Your Change Pays Off provides a framework for structuring and implementing change initiatives that deliver their expected benefits. Brendon Baker takes a critical eye to change and project management conventions, exposing and eliminating common complexities. The book begins by demonstrating how three questions form the foundation of any successful initiative -- What is the project doing, why are we doing it, and how will we know when we are successful? Next, the author double-clicks on implementation enablers, including decision making, engagement, building momentum and identifying lessons learned. His real-life examples clearly illustrate gaps, solutions and ways to implement them in your business. Pick up a copy if you need a 'keep-it-simple' playbook for transforming your organization that delivers the results you need.
