Synopsis

THE SOLUTION TO THE CHANGE MANAGEMENT PUZZLE

How do you facilitate organizational change with everyone on board and with minimal or no resistance? You make sure the change makes logical and emotional sense to everyone affected during the entire change process. The HST Model for Change shows you how.


“HST” is Harnessing the Speed of Thought, a five-step problem solving and decision-making model applied to change management. It applies current neuropsychological thinking to a social environment. The result is a managed change that includes and supports every individual involved.

The HST Model can be used by itself or as a boost for other change models including Lean Thinking, Kotter, ADKAR or any other change management method.


If you’re seeking a proven, science-based, people-friendly approach to change management, The HST Model for Change is for you.

After earning a PhD in psychology in 1973, author Robert Brown’s career has focused on enabling people to reach their potential, as individuals and members of a team. Brown’s recent business books include The People Side of Lean Thinking, Mistake-Proofing Leadership, Earn Their Loyalty, and a memorable one on business culture, New Darwinian Laws Every Business Should Know.

From the Back Cover

The Problem: Most organizational change efforts fail to reach their
intended outcomes

The Goal: Reach intended outcomes without demoralizing employees, spending
a fortune or taking forever to do it.

The Solution: Use solid science and engage employees every step of the way
Author Robert Brown has spent fifty-three years studying why people do what they do. This is the seventh in a series of business management books explaining what he has learned. Dr. Brown's ideas are clear, simple and logical and can be implemented by just about anyone.

Here he proposes TWO ESSENTIALS for change. What could be easier? However, it is not quite as easy as he would like: the approach is counterintuitive, but that is why it works.
