Publisher's Synopsis
At the core of The Transformation Roadmap is a practical approach to support line managers in navigating organisational change, a satnav for scoping and accelerating change projects. It provides an instruction booklet - a guide to moving your organisation from A (today) to B (tomorrow) - bridging the gap between theory and practice. The book describes how change is managed in real organisational settings - based on an underpinning model of how effective organisations work. The model is grounded in Tandem Consulting's collective experience, both in Ireland and internationally, of managing hundreds of individual change projects across a range of commercial and not-for-profit sectors. The Transformation Roadmap explores three stages that occur in all successful change journeys - developing an overall change strategy, choosing specific change targets and systematic change implementation. It represents a stripped-down approach that is simple, but effective. It has been tested and refined in a variety of settings (for example, in the technology, manufacturing, financial services, pharmaceuticals and public service sectors) and uses actual case studies of both successful and unsuccessful change management projects. "Essential reading for any manager who needs to get under the bonnet of organisational transformation. The author has the distinction of having successfully implemented complex change initiatives across a range of sectors." Michael McDonnell, Managing Director Ireland, CIPD. "A practical, no-nonsense guide which combines theory, case studies and models for future use. The Transformation Roadmap is a brilliant study of how performance can be improved through the effective management of change." Laura Burke, Director General, Environmental Protection Agency. "Mooney continues to shine a penetrating light into practices which differentiate successful from unsuccessful organisations. This latest effort, based on real cases, provides an insightful exploration into how even the most thorny change problems can be successfully tackled." Brendan McGinty, Director of IR & HR Services, IBEC. "Paul has condensed his insights into a very readable and engaging piece of work which will be the reference book on change for a long time to come." Richard Broderick, CEO, KAL Industries. "Having been on the receiving end of this wisdom, I confirm that this stuff works in the real world. I'm a fan." Fergus Clancy, Chief Executive, Mater Private Healthcare
