Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The need to change in response to external influences is indispensable if an organisation wants to be successful. In recent years, much has been written about reengineering, downsizing, TQM and the like. Now there is an increasing focus on the involvement of people in these processes and systems as a key to gaining success and a competitive edge. Further, organisations focusing in this way are beginning to report high pay-offs from such activities. Much of the current literature defines the objectives an organisation should have when contemplating change, but often they do not tell those involved how to meet them. This book takes a highly practical stance for achieving successful change by describing and illustrating through case studies the ten keys to arrive at your goal, by paying particular reference to the ways people must be managed to arrive at rapid, self-sustaining change.
