“Making Change Work” walks exactly what the title talks. I found the tools explained in this book really practical in putting change to work in any project. Unlike most other books, the book puts a practical methodology, in sequence and with supporting tools, to overcome human resistance to change. The rest is left to the reader on how to use his or her interpersonal skills to make this methodology a way of managing real life projects.

Brien Palmer successfully guides the reader to make change work through following a 7-step methodology supported by tools and examples. Starting with Leading Change to gain management commitment to change, and ending with Anchoring the Change to seamlessly integrate the change with the existing systems the reader can really make any project succeed if the steps are followed rigorously and effectively.

Once you finish reading the book you will not be able to resist the temptation to put what you have read into a flowchart of the steps with the recommended tools and to hang it in your office for use in any project until it is instilled in your, and more importantly in your company’s, culture.

I recommend this book for any change agent and project manager who believe in the natural tendency of human resistance to change. This books is worth more than its price, indeed.… (lisätietoja)
