***Essential Handbook for Change Management Practitioners** A very practical Change Management Handbook is a ‘essential' for anyone implementing organizational change into their organization. It is based on the ten-step a2B Change Management Framework and includes 55 illustrations (a roadmap, assessments, templates, a communication plan and a project change plan), 2 fundamental change models for employee adoption and behavioral change, a comprehensive glossary and many more change concepts. Each of the ten change management framework steps also have introduction case study, based on practical change implementation challenges. The handbook goes into much more detail than Volume 2 the pocket guide and provides easy step-by-step instructions to complete the assessments and templates. The first section introduces change management and discusses how the fourth industrial revolution is increasing the speed and impact of change on organization's - ‘the change explosion’. It argues that organizations should develop internal change management capability to achieve competitive advantage. The author highlights that many organizations face the leadership paradox “change implementation vs. delivering day-today operations.” Leaders need to focus both on the urgent and the important.
