Change

Change is everywhere. It is inevitable. Change can be slow and incremental or sudden and unexpected. It can happen at any time and sometimes it is welcomed and sometimes it is feared.

Organisations across the globe are experiencing unprecedented levels of change both in frequency and severity. Like any organism, an organisation will either adapt or it will die.

Simon Powers shares over 25 years’ of experience helping large organisations from charities to banking, from local councils to central government, and from retail and automotive to big pharma adapt to rising complexity and pace of change.

Over the last 10 years, Simon has taught thousands of Coaches, Leaders, and Managers how to make meaningful change. He has helped set the bar for an entire industry of Enterprise Coaches and change agents and won awards including the person who has done the most globally to promote agility.

In this book, Simon shares his pioneering and original approach to people-led organisational change with innovative new models and tools. By combining Systems Thinking, Systems Coaching, and a deep experience of how people face change, Simon offers a way to move forwards with less or no resistance and none of the usual arguments over frameworks and approaches.

Simon takes us through 600 years of history and puts into context the current challenges faced today and provides relevant and actionable steps to emergent solutions that empower and include everyone in creating fantastic work cultures that everyone would be proud to work in.

This book is for people who want their organisation to thrive in the face of change but don’t yet know how to do it. It is for enterprise and agile coaches, scrum masters, leaders and their coaches, department heads, HR staff, and any change agents who are fed up with battling for change and instead want to find a collaborative and meaningful approach to create better organisations. This book tells you how to do that.
