Chasing Change cover

Robust organizational capacity is a company s potential to apply its skills and resources to accomplish goals and exceed stakeholders expectations. This book provides readers with the ability to diagnose both the drivers of change in their organization and the type of change response needed. In addition to the traditional tangible dimension of change, it presents a framework to leverage the cultural and personal dimensions of change to sustain successful change initiatives. As well, it presents an organizational capability self-assessment process to derive the maximum return on change efforts and investments. CEOs and executives will benefit from the ability to link demands for change to organizational capabilities in strategic initiatives.

"Drawing on their own professional experiences with strategic change they offer a practical text for CEOs, managers and others leading change initiatives. Coverage includes change basics; a framework for understanding how the external and internal environments drive and demand change responses on organizational and individuals levels; an assessment framework for building change capacity, centered on 13 core capabilities that can be evaluated and further developed for greater learning and adaptation to change."
