Book Launch – Organizational Change Management: Inclusion, Collaboration and Digital Change in Practice

On 31st January 2024 we celebrated the launch of our new book: Organizational Change Management: Inclusion, Collaboration and Digital Change in Practice at the Centre for Work Organisation and Society at Essex Business School

Inspired by our own MSc programme and the research of the co-authors, this book offers a holistic introduction to Organizational Change Management through a distinct and timely perspective of organizational change agency. It takes a highly practical and unique approach, with cutting-edge chapters on digital transformation, creativity, power and inclusivity and diversity. Our approach places change experience as a starting point. It identifies and targets lessons for current or future professionals who become change makers. Such individuals play a pivotal role in change implementation but are bounded by the ultimate decision-making power of others, typically senior leaders, executives or business owners. This focus means we place relationships and people at the heart of organizational change and offer practical training to help develop skills of communicating change; learning about change; influencing key stakeholders; handling digital data and information; consulting, supporting and exploring. We discuss not simply how to ‘do change’, but how to understand the implications of organizational changes.

A huge thank you to Victoria Collier, Elaine Yerby and Paulina Lewandowska for sharing their thoughts and praise for the book.
