Changemaking
The fully revised and expanded second edition of Richard Bevan’s Changemaking presents a seven-factor framework for the successful management of change, supported by more than 60 tools (checklists, talking points, pitfalls, tactics, FAQs) to guide planning and action. These can be used to educate about priorities; to learn about typical but avoidable pitfalls; to assess progress; and as the basis for developing materials to assist in implementation. Brief case histories illustrate the role of the core factors in managing change. Reflecting the increasing prevalence of work-from-home and hybrid working patterns, additional chapters address the growing impact of technology in collaboration and communication platforms, Al-enabled tools, and the way meetings are conducted. The focus throughout is on tactics and execution, with resources to be adapted to a variety of situations. A central theme of the book is that successful change is supported and enabled by the stakeholders. These are individuals and groups – including employees, managers, and many others – who are involved in the process, will be affected by the change, or can influence the outcome. This edition includes material from the first edition of Changemaking and its companion volume, The Changemaking Checklists. These books are no longer be available, as the new one provides a more complete and up-to-date account of the framework, the seven factors, and supporting commentary and resources. The second edition of Changemaking is available from Amazon or your local bookseller (ISBN 979-8990275010).
