The Transition Equation

Organizations all over the world are in the midst of change: they are downsizing, entering new marketss using new technology, hiring new CEOs, and developing new types of products. According to organizational change expert J. Allan McCarthy, most such transitions are undertaken with too little planning, too little recognition of their impact, and too little communication - leading to waste, confusion, and lost profits. Drawing on his experience with more than 200 organizations, McCarthy offers a proven six-step transition plan for making change simpler and more effective. In practical terms he explains how a company should define the goals of the transition, assess the necessary changes, create both the broad master plan and a detailed step-by-step plan, and communicate the strategies throughout the organization.
