Achieve Transformational Success with 'Charting Change'

📢 Attention Change Agents: Master the Art of Transformation with Charting Change!

As a Human-Centered Change and Innovation professional, I’ve seen firsthand how often brilliant initiatives falter because they neglect the most critical element: the people. That’s why I created the Human-Centered Change methodology and the Change Planning Canvas™ — a collaborative, visual approach to making change stick.

I’m thrilled to announce that the Second Edition of my best-selling book, Charting Change: A Visual Toolkit for Making Change Stick, is now available for the incredibly low price of just $17.99 for the softcover (FREE shipping worldwide) and eBook versions directly from my publisher! Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire an essential toolkit that will transform how you lead.


🛠️ Your Benefits: A New and Expanded Toolkit for Success

The Second Edition isn’t just a reprint; it’s a major expansion, born from user feedback and the accelerating pace of today’s business environment. When you grab your copy, you are investing in a comprehensive, practical guide that will help you beat the painful 70% change failure rate.

1. Expanded Coverage on Critical Modern Topics

I’ve added four new chapters to equip you for the complex, interconnected challenges of the 21st-century organization:

  • Architecting for Change: Learn how organizational design and business architecture work together to create a flexible, resilient structure, rather than just forcing change onto a rigid system.
  • Systems Thinking: Understand that change doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You’ll gain a holistic view of your organization as a complex system, allowing you to anticipate and manage ripple effects.
  • Digital Transformation: Get a clear roadmap for executing successful digital shifts that are human-centered—focusing on customer and employee experience, not just the technology.
  • Building a Continuous Change Culture: Move beyond one-off projects and discover how to hard-wire organizational agility into your DNA, making your company a learning machine ready for the future.

Change Planning Canvas

2. Access to the Core Change Planning Toolkit

Every book purchase grants you a complimentary Basic License to the Change Planning Toolkit™! This is invaluable, providing you with access to 26 of my 70+ frameworks and visual tools as downloadable, large-format PDFs, including:

  • The Change Planning Canvas™: A single, collaborative visual tool that gets everyone literally on the same page for discussing and planning the variables that influence your change effort.
  • Visual Guides and Worksheets: Practical, easy-to-use frameworks to visualize the current state, envision the desired state, identify benefits, and segment your audience.

3. Practical, Collaborative, and Visual Execution

Charting Change is designed to be a field guide, not a theoretical text. You will learn how to:

  • Drive Buy-in and Alignment: Use visual, collaborative techniques to draw out hidden assumptions and landmines early, ensuring stakeholders are aligned and committed.
  • Measure and Manage Readiness: Employ new visual tools, like the Organizational Agility Framework, to effectively assess your team’s and organization’s readiness for change and transition.
  • Overcome Resistance: Learn practical strategies for identifying and working with the people side of change, turning passive resistors into active supporters.
  • Build a Common Language: Establish a shared vocabulary and vision for change implementation across your entire organization, increasing the likelihood of success.

For less than the price of lunch, you can acquire the blueprint for successful, human-centered change. Stop betting on the 30% chance of success and start charting your path to transformation today!

Announcing the Second Edition of Charting Change

Announcing the Second Edition of Charting ChangeThanks to the popularity of the First Edition of Charting Change, I am privileged and excited to announce the early availability of the Second Edition of Charting Change, my best selling book on planning and executing organizational change and transformation used as a course book by universities around the world.

What was the impetus for the book and what’s new you might ask?

Executives are under escalating pressure to deliver increasing profits every quarter, while technology advances at an increasing rate. In such a pressure-cooker environment, leaders must hard-wire their organizations to be mindful of costs while simultaneously becoming more flexible and faster at planning and executing the change programs required by innovation and the shifting demands of the customer. The companies that successfully innovate and stay at the top of their industries have one thing in common – they learn fast and manage change well.

Charting Change (Second Edition) provides a set of visual tools that will help you build a coherent approach to change, identifying both the things that will help make the effort successful, and those people and barriers that will try to block the way. Leaders that read and absorb this book will be able to make productive use of the tools to drive buy-in, alignment, and successful change outcomes across the organization, its systems, and its culture.

This second edition features new topics such as architecting for change, overcoming resistance to change, systems thinking, and building a continuous change culture, as well as new visual tools such as the Organizational Agility Framework. This book will help leaders and managers visualize, plan, and execute change and transformation in a more accessible, visual, and collaborative way. Once you are done reading Charting Change (Second Edition) you will approach any big change with confidence.

Kate HammerWhynde KuehnSPECIAL BONUS:

AND, the new edition also includes two new Guest Expert sections from Kate Hammer on storyFORMing and Whynde Kuehn on Business Architecture!
.

SPECIAL DEAL: To celebrate the launch of the hardcover (free shipping worldwide*) and the eBook, my publisher is offering everyone the special 40% off employee discount when you enter the discount code EMP24 through February 24, 2024 directly on the Springerlink web site.

SPECIAL ASK: If you purchased the First Edition of Charting Change and left a review on Amazon, please go to the First Edition page on Amazon and copy your review and paste is a review on the Second Edition page on Amazon. This will give people looking at the Second Edition page on Amazon a much more alive page to browse when they are considering purchasing the book. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t copy over the reviews when a new edition is released. Thank you in advance!

I am eternally grateful to everyone who supports the Human-Centered Change and Innovation blog with your readership. Getting a copy of the Second Edition of Charting Change is a great way of supporting my efforts in bringing you the very best thought leadership on human-centered change, innovation, transformation and experience design topics not just from myself, but from all of our amazing contributing authors as well.

Keep innovating!
