Change Management Pocket Guide: Leadership of Change Volume 2 Leadership of Change - Change Management Body of Knowledge Great Change Management Pocket Guide Authority It is now released so I bought it quickly – it does what it says on the cover. I now have on my kindle app a fantastic change management pocket guide to help me implement change in my day-to-day job as a change practitioner. The “ten-step a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®) is supported by over thirty concepts, models, figures (colour), assessments, tools, templates, checklists and plans, as well as a roadmap and glossary.” The pocket guide has the key change concepts such as strategic alignment, sponsorship, communications, readiness, resistance, adoption and sustaining the change. The templates and assessment are particularly valuable as I will be able to make data-driven decisions about the moving from one change step to the next. BTW the on-line ’Change History Assessment’ is free to purchasers of the book. I will be strongly advising all my team to buy one and will recommend that the leaders of the areas we are implementing change buy one for every single employee involved in the change – an investment that will return many dollars! Keep going Peter F, cannot wait for the next Leadership of Change - Change Management Body of Knowledge Volume

Change Management Handbook: Leadership of Change Volume 3 Leadership of Change - Change Management Body of Knowledge I was trained by Peter on a lean change practitioner training course in Nigeria a few years ago when he worked for the world’s largest energy company. Peter came highly recommended for the corporate office in the Netherlands and was part of the organization effectiveness team deploying global corporate transformational change and improvement programs. What I liked about the author, even then was his ability to talk about change from a variety of perspectives. He knew the academic side (the scholars), the leadership side (strategy alignment, sponsorship. etc) but for me it was his ability to convey the real-life challenges of what really happens on the ground. I still remember the stories he conveyed on how organisations, leaders and employees react to change. The author categorises these reactions as: Advocates, Observers and REBELS. When a colleague mentioned that Peter had created this book on fables, I quickly got a copy and have just finished reading it. The fables are indeed real-life stories with real-life characters arranged in a logical sequence, each focusing on separate but related steps of effectively implementing organisation change.

Change Management Handbook - Leadership of Change® Volume 3 Change Management Body of Knowledge Volume 3 This Change Management Handbook is the third book I have read by Peter F Gallagher. It is a must have for anyone interested in or working as part of a change initiative. I have found this book vital in managing my change project and carry it everywhere with me. Unlike many books on this subject, which simply deal with the ‘what to do’, the Change Manager’s Handbook deals with the ‘how to’ providing a logical step by step framework with clear explanations and examples that you can actually apply and use. In particular Harley’s Organisational Readiness methodology is invaluable as it prevents the simple tick box approach to completing tasks and ensures everyone is aligned around the expectations focussing on the benefits of implementing the change. In addition the downloadable toolkit is full of useful templates that will help you build, manage and think about how to achieve the desired change. The handbook goes into much more detail than the pocket guide (volume 2) 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 organisations - ‘the change explosion’. It argues that organisations can develop competitive advantage if they develop internal capability, but leaders must be actively involved, as the author puts it: ‘The leadership paradox - delivering normal day-today operations vs change implementation” I bought the kindle version as soon as it was released and ordered the paperback version so I can keep it on my desk for easy access and to enable me to write my own notes in it. I highly recommend all volumes in the Leadership of Change trilogy!

Leadership of Change - Change Management Body of Knowledge Volume 4 The book details these responsibilities and the associated activities that change leaders must do to achieve successful change. Peter outlines the three critical leadership responsibilities to implement change: Articulate the vision Model the new way Intervene to ensure sustainable change This is my fourth purchase of Leadership of Change Volume (1, 2 & 3) by Peter F Gallagher and it does not disappoint. This book builds on his previous change management books and framework and is for leaders implementing change into their organisations. The author writes about how being an effective and proactive change leader is essential for successful organisational change. He The AMI Change Leader Model is aligned with the a2B Change Management Framework to support change programme implementation, which is really helpful. Very highly recommended
