Makes an invaluable contribution to the fields of organization development, change management, and strategic planning, as well as to the individuals who lead and consult in organizations including executives and senior manager, internal and external consultants who assist organizations in their efforts to survive and thrive in the current fast-paced, highly competitive, global, complex, and ever-changing marketplace.
--Jeanne Cherbeneau, president, Cherbeneau & Associates
The message in the book is not only why enterprise wide change (EWC) is critical to organizations who want to survive and be successful, but also how to implement this change. The examples of what not to do versus how to do it right were very helpful. The comprehensive details and examples given about other companies made the message and information even clearer. It s one thing to write about a topic, but to actually get your point across is another. The authors also put together a beginning to end process on EWC in one book that is easy to read and implement.
--Lori L. While, senior vice president, Valley Credit Union
This book provides valuable context and content to enable the reader to understand and apply the systems-thinking concepts. It provides the tools that needed to actually start and sustain and enterprise change effort in a planned and systematic method. Provides and excellent introduction to and framework for the complex process of enterprise-wide change. It s a great roadmap!
--Mary Jefferies, director, human resource services, Alberta Environment
This is not some esoteric fad of the decade book, it addresses in a very pragmatic way, the various elements that need to be considered when developing a change management process in a systems thinking context.
--Dennis A. Looney, vice president of operations, Apex-Carex Healthcare Products
Haines book gives practitioners and project managers a comprehensive map with principles and guides to navigate the change process.
--Aaron S.L. Pun, former chairperson, Hong Kong Society for Training and Development
Enterprise Wide Change is filled with examples and real-life applications, as well as checklists and tools.
--Denise Bryson, vice president, client services, New Client Marketing Institute
The great value of this book is the way it manages to weave together the various elements of the strategic process in a simple and practical model.

Systems Thinking Approach,
By Steven George (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enterprise-Wide Change: Superior Results Through Systems Thinking (Jossey-Bass Series) (J-B O-D (Organizational Development)) (J-B O-D (Organizational ... (J-B O-D (Organizational Development)) (Paperback)
This is the best book I have ever read on the Systems Thinking Approach to large-scale change in a simple, clear and practical manner. This book has many ways to make it an easy read--chapter summaries, questions to ponder, etc.
This book could easily be used as a capstone course in OD--while it appears a set of solid basics, it is also a way to be disciplined in your thinking to maximize your opportunity for success. ' I would recommend this book to every executive and change agent who is tired of single change initiatives that only give minimal results.
