Practical Change Management takes complex theories and makes them extremely accessible for individuals at any experience level, whether you are just starting your career, a mid-level manager or an experienced C-suite executive.What I loved most about this book is that it’s BOTH a great introduction to change management for anyone new and a “quick reference” guide for experienced practitioners.This book is a high-value, no fluff, easy read that actually shows you how to implement change management theories and tools. It provides just enough context to understand the need for each aspect of change management, then directly shows you how to apply the theories using simple tools, without overwhelming the reader with details. It also does a great job of laying out the common issues that arise with each stage and provides advice for how to deal with each.In short, this book is a fantastic resource to help individuals involved in all aspects of a change see the value of this work, have a common language to use, and understand practical activities they can use immediately to deal with the more complicated, soft-side of change.

Excellent read for managers who are not experienced in Organization Change Management. I really like how this is presented with "real world" scenarios and how sample answers were provided for the exercises. I have to disagree with one reviewer that stated this approach is only valid for Top 500 companies. I have seen this same method and approach successfully deployed within organizations of all sizes. I also like how the author's personality comes through making it a fun read.

If you’re on a project and responsible for change management, this is the only book you need. It’s an excellent bundle of everything to consider in a change program. The preface reminded me of an old quote from Michael Hammer, “Ignore change management at your peril!” This book gives a set of tangible project tasks and templates that anyone can pick up and get started with which distinguishes it from other books that focus more on theories and rationale behind change management practices.The sensible change management model of 5-Pillars puts a framework in place for a manager to use to anchor a project plan and to represent the change management work area within a larger program scope. If you’re a change manager the model is ready-made for you.Depending on the scale and scope of whatever project is being considered, this guide is adaptable. The chapters give a comprehensive view across all change management activities. The templates are complete as they cover the breadth of required activities and you can go into as much depth with each as your situation requires.The case study illustrations and author anecdotes from her experience make it a pleasant read and ground the concepts in easily understood and memorable stories. As I read the book I often felt like I was in a coaching session and listening to an expert guide me along.It’s a single reference that can stand as any project’s resource for a solid change management approach.

An excellent and easy-to-implement guide for what can be a "fuzzy" topic to some. This book helps to clarify the gray area where people know they need to do something, but aren't quite sure where to start. Practical Change Management offers easy steps and tools to identify, plan, and execute change management within an organization.The style of the book should be a particular draw to the IT audience, where knowledge of change management is varied. Its short and simple format serves as an excellent introduction to those unfamiliar with change management, yet can serve as a quick guide or "centering" tool for the advanced set.
