Synopsis
Research shows that up to seventy percent of all change initiatives fail. Let's face it, change is hard, as is getting an organization on board and working through the process. One thing that has been known to be effective is onboarding teams not only to understand this change, but to see the process and the progress of institutional change. Charting Change will help teams and companies visualize this complicated process. Kelley has developed the Change Planning Toolkit™ and the Change Planning Canvas™, which enable leadership and project teams to easily discuss the variables that will influence the change effort and organize them in a collaborative and visual way. It will help managers build a cohesive approach that can be more easily embraced by employees who are charged with the actual implementation of change. This book will teach readers how to use this visual toolkit to build a common language and vision for implementing change.

From the Back Cover
There are two things we know about change, that it is inevitable and that it is hard. Organizational change is accelerating and companies know that they need to be more agile and capable of continuous change. This presents a huge challenge for most organizations. Let's face it. Initiating change is a scary, overwhelming process that we often all try to avoid because we lack the tools to make the process more human, collaborative, visual and digestible. That is about to change. Charting Change was created to give managers the tools they need to organize desired changes in a way that steps a group of people through the change planning process, accumulating buy-in and an understanding of what it will take to execute, all along the way. Everything about this book, from the chapter page illustrations to the toolkit itself is designed to make change more accessible and more human, blending the technical and artistic elements of its pursuit.
Readers will learn how to effectively plan for change and will be provided with best practices for organizational change. The accompanying web site, charting-change.com, provides readers with downloadable versions of select toolkit components designed to be printed on a variety of paper sizes,including:
