Luck is Not a Strategy: An Executive Guidebook for Leading Change Initiative

In Luck Is Not a Strategy, Dr. Janet Ply shares the hard-won lessons from 25 plus years of consulting and guiding business leaders through complex change initiatives. Business practices are changing more rapidly today than in any other time in modern history. Advances in technology, data availability, globalization, artificial intelligence, employee empowerment and social justice imperatives require enhanced levels of skill from leaders to ensure their organizations survive and thrive. Executives by necessity, and not always by training or experience, must lead organizations through multiple, complex change initiatives. Sadly, over two-thirds of these initiatives fail. We know the root causes of these failures. Senior leadership teams repeat the same mistakes, seemingly oblivious to leveraging the learnings of those who have gone before them. Why is that?In Luck is not a Strategy, answers are provided as leaders receive practical guidance and a focus on the tools for success. Dr. Janet Ply is a seasoned practitioner who has followed a life-long passion for helping others be successful. In addition to consulting on large-scale programs, she has delivered and led multiple, hands-on workshops as well as provided coaching in leadership, program management, and project management. Providing businesses and people much needed help to succeed is the path Janet has chosen to follow. In this book, she welcomes you to the journey. (www.drjanetply.com)
