Synopsis

Every year corporations spend billions in pursuit of change. Some are successful. Many are not. In this winner of the prestigious 1999 Management Consultancy Association Prize, Paul Taffinder casts a critical eye over the big change efforts of more than 30 organizations worldwide, and offers conclusions as unsettling as they are insightful and firmly supported by real--world business sense. Paul Taffinder achieves what in many other books remains an empty promise. Brilliant insight...inspiring...A real eye--opener. ----Dr. Siegfried Hoenle, Director, Warburg Dillon Read.

Author Bio
Paul Taffinder is an Associate Partner at Andersen Consulting. Formerly a director of Coopers & Lybrand until 1998, he joined Andersen Consulting to concentrate on helping clients with the leadership of complex change. Following a Mastera s degree and then PhD in organizational psychology -- and what he describes as a mercifully brief career in the mining industry -- he turned his attention to organizational research and consultancy, becoming passionately interested in the shape of corporations to come and the importance of the socio--psychological driving forces that underlie the world of business. His first book The New Leaders looked specifically at the role of leadership and change, an area in which he has years of in--depth experience consulting internationally. A provocative speaker at international conferences, he is emerging as one of the foremost thinkers on the psychology of organizational change, tenaciously challenging uncritical management orthodoxy, raising the ambition of business leaders, and is now the winner of the prestigious MCA prize.
