From the Back Cover
"If you′re initiating major change, prepare yourself by taking two aspirin, read Darly′s book, and get plenty of rest" Craig E. Weatherup, Chairman and CEO, Pepsi–Cola North America Finally, an indispensable source for anyone – from mid–level managers through to top–level executives – who needs to implement business decisions on time and within budget. In today′s ever–fluctuating world, it′s not enough to recognize that you and the way you do business need to change. You must know how to make changes quickly, effectively and economically or you are bound to fail. Everywhere today you hear the concern of those trying to adapt to the rapid flux created by an uncertain economy, ever–changing market demands, and the threat of international competition. Businesses worry that they can′t keep up, and every day another corporation falls prey to the myth that the status quo still works. Daryl Conner, president and founder of the consulting firm Organizational Development Resources, Inc. (ODR), is the world′s number one expert on change management. Conner has taken his twenty years of change management experience and written a ground–breaking guide on resilient, successful change. His system focuses on how to change rather than what to change. Business people at all levels now face the major challenge of initiating company–wide reorganization plans, responding quickly to competition, establishing new products and markets, and adapting themselves smoothly to fluctuations in the economy.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
This review is from: Managing at the Speed of Change (Hardcover)
Working for one of the Big 4 consultancies I charged myself with the goal of learning more about Change Management. I found Conner's work to be just what I was looking for. Not only did I get a great introduction to the topic, but found Conner's real life examples to be quite fascinating - stuff to which I could easily relate. Particularly enjoyed the section on Synergy which is of course extremely useful for broader maangement issues.The only negative comment I might make is that he tends to re-iterate points slightly too much though this will, of course, help in the learning process. Overall, a great work and highly recommended. A great work, highly recommended.

Managing change which makes sense!,
By stormer "stormer" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Managing at the Speed of Change: How Resilient Managers Succeed and Prosper Where Others Fail (Paperback)
After reading several articles and books, I was at a loss to read anything about Change Management which made any sense. This book is comprehensive, clear and to the point with relevant and useful examples. On reading this book you will get an insight into what drives change, the process of change, the barriers and behaviours that inhibit change.
I found it fascinating on a personal level and both insightful and resourceful on an academic and professional level, as I am currently studying my MBA. I would highly recommend this book.

Immediately applicable tools for dealing with change,
By
This review is from: Managing at the Speed of Change (Hardcover)
In part because author Daryl R. Conner applies common sense ideas, and in part because his ideas have spread throughout corporate culture, some aspects of this book may seem familiar. Conner would probably count that as a positive development, because one of his core premises is that change is exhausting and, therefore, you should try to make changes as palatable as possible to the people they will affect. Thomas Edison did this by making the first electric lights resemble the already-familiar gas fixtures. But even if you've heard all of this before, don't underestimate the book's usefulness. Conner's theories may not surprise you, but he offers many immediately applicable tools for dealing with change, and he uses clear, expressive language to do so. Because you'll learn several useful tips if you read even a few pages, we recommend this book to anyone guiding any kind of organization - family, nonprofit, business or school - through change.
