The Art of Strategic Change (Hardback)

The Art of Strategic Change (Hardback)

The current level of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in the world has rendered traditional strategic change models and processes ineffective.  The need exists for a fresh approach to strategic change which functions in rapidly changing environments and delivers meaningful results. This can be achieved through the integration of organization development (OD), strategic planning, change models, and Agility. In this context, The Art of Strategic Change applies current OD theory in new and exciting ways.  This book provides both theoretical and practical support to those planning, managing, and implementing change in a modern world.  New insights are offered in the areas of change leadership; change communication and staging; strategy development; difference and diversity; power, influence, and authority; navigating client systems; and current developments in the OD environment.
