Purpose-Driven Innovation takes readers inside the UN Lab for Organizational Change and Knowledge (UNLOCK) to discover a new theory of change management, developed to help managers navigate accelerating, global, societal challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Using real UN cases, arranged according to the UN change framework, the authors show how this new theory works in the real world, overcoming bureaucratic obstacles and the challenges of the digital era.
This is the first book to set out how change management models work in practice in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is an essential primer for all organizations, small and large, public or private, within and outside of the United Nations, working to help achieve the SDGs through organizational change in the wake of crisis.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From two authors with first-hand experience comes the most innovative answer to the formidable challenge of managing change in a complex organization. A must read for anyone interested in the United Nations and in change management. -- Francesco Mancini, Associate Professor in Practice and Vice Dean, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore Its great to see a very tangible and timely outcome from the UN Lab on Organizational Change and Knowledge (UNLOCK). A case based approach to organizational change makes this book a must read for everyone interested in understanding and navigation organizational change in the context of the SDG's, the UN and other large international organizations. -- Joel Nielsen, Chief Of Leadership Development in UNHCR Though not everyone has yet realized (or accepted it), we are long past the days when organizations could treat their decision making as purely technical exercises aimed at generating success by narrow definitions (like profit or shareholder value). Resilience, societal concerns and objectives, the actions of governments and NGOs, and the views of all stakeholder must increasingly be considered. This book provides lessons from the worldwide organization that has confronted this reality most directly - the United Nations. The authors were there, on the front lines. Open-minded leaders will find much here to think seriously about. -- Robert D. Austin, Author and Professor, Ivey Business School Besides providing access to valuable UN data and experiences, the authors' unique analysis gives organizations a timely set of lessons and tools to better navigate these turbulent times. -- Toni Castro-Cosio, PhD, Senior Behavioral Researcher, Center for Advanced Hindsight, Duke University This is a valuable reference for change management in multi-cultural organizations with a global presence. -- Dr. Jingbo Huang, with 20 years of experience working in the UN system
