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
