Synopsis

Too many change efforts have self-destructed. Sure, there are many books about the theory of change and leading change, but we wanted to write a pragmatic, clear, concise book that you could use to actually achieve change. "wHolistic Change: Delivering Corporate Change That Lasts" is a practical, how-to book that gives you the information about change agents and the skills they'll need to be effective; how to overcome resistance to change; and an end-to-end methodology with decision points to determine if your team is prepared to deliver a corporate change that will truly last. The wHolistic Change(SM) approach was developed over our combined 40 years of experience delivering successful corporate change. All aspects of the methodology have been tested at numerous Fortune 500 companies and vetted by conducting lessons learned and continuously improving the process. We developed the wHolistic Change(SM) approach by learning from the unsuccessful aspects of change that we observed along the way. We fashioned a new approach that we have used to successfully drive changes and exceed expectations: delivering sustainable change in shorter periods of time and with greater-than-expected results.
