Engaging Change

"The worlds of business and government are now in a state of perpetual change. In Engaging Change, Wilcox and Jenkins have written a refreshing and insightful book, which rightly emphasizes that the management of change is critically dependent on people and their participation and behaviour throughout the change process. It is an essential manual for all change managers." * Professor Ian Wallace, Pro-Vice-Chancellor - Defence and Security, Cranfield University * "Engagement is a participation sport is one of my favourite lines in Engaging Change. There are lots of experts and models around change, but few seem to focus on harnessing the energy and wisdom of the people most impacted by the change. Wilcox and Jenkins give a great illustration of how doing this not only makes great business sense, it's the only way to successfully implement real change." * Roy White, Senior Vice President Human Resources, Sony Mobile * "By 2025 over 75 per cent of the working-age population will have been brought up with the internet. The modern leader is challenged with more data and conflicting demands than ever before and is constantly faced with the need to change - more frequently and faster. Mark Wilcox and Mark Jenkins have taken the concepts introduced in Re-energizing the Corporation and developed them, crafting a practitioner's guide to delivering change in an organization. The use of memorable and simple-to-read case studies should enable all readers to apply the thinking to the world in which they operate." * Michael Chivers, Senior Vice President Human Resources, Maersk Line * "When we set out to transform the performance of my division's front office at a leading turnkey rail contractor, we turned to Mark W and Mark J, two hardcore, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is practitioners who rolled up their sleeves to make it happen with us. Now in Engaging Change they have opened up their treasure chest of experience from working on dozens of varied change assignments to share their wisdom with the next generation of managers assembling their toolbox for the challenges ahead. Insightful and refreshing reading!" * Eran Gartner, CEO, Megalim Solar Power Ltd * "The authors take what is for most a difficult and often misunderstood subject and provide a practical and well-thought-through solution to even the most challenging change problems." * James Prior, Head of Leadership and Learning UK, Dentsu Aegis Network *
