As the business context evolves more rapidly, driven by accelerating
technological, political, and social change, an increasing strategic
priority for business leaders is how to enact large-scale organizational
change. Even companies that are current industry leaders are vulnerable
to disruption. Company leaders need to watch over their shoulder
for--and transform the company in anticipation of--the next disruption.
Mastering the Science of Organizational Change summarizes the work of
the BCG Henderson Institute and its fellows and ambassadors over several
years to develop a more scientific approach to change. Hundreds of
companies are analyzed in the book's discussion on how to beat the odds
in large-scale change management using an evidence-based approach--a
large-scale analysis of what approaches actually work in which
circumstances.
Part 1 of the book reviews the imperatives for self-disruption. The
second part elaborates on how to manage the process of change. Finally,
Part 3 discusses how organizations can take change to the next level.
