To implement a change idea, the organization must start a change initiative. A successful change initiative ensures that business continues and improves, the employees are happier, there is ideal use of funds and resources, and the customers are more satisfied. Unfortunately, a fair majority of them fail to deliver optimal results and many of them fail outright. This book encapsulates how people and organizations can become better at implementing their change ideas.
