ITGP launch a practical guide to managing business transformation
/EINPresswire.com/ Ely, England, 22nd September 2011 - A transformation is a fundamental change in the way an organisation operates, often involving customers, suppliers and staff and a combination of change and project management. All businesses today must regularly transform themselves in response to rapid changes in technology, in customer requirements and expectations, and in their business environment. Business Transformation is essential in retaining your competitive advantage and achieving your strategic goals. Without business transformation you will find your business stagnating and unable to meet the demands of your customers and stakeholders.
Now, IT Governance Publishing is launching a fantastic new title that will help people achieve their strategic goals through such effective change and project management.
Due to be published on the 6th October 2011 and available for pre-order now, Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide, is a practical handbook providing an easy to understand change management lifecycle and techniques to carry out each step. From this book, readers will understand the differences between change management and project management, the relationship between them and how to make them work.
Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide uses real-life examples, up-to-date information and clear diagrams to equip you to be an agent of change. Melanie Franklin guides the reader through their change from the initial idea, to persuading all those impacted to adopt the change and make it the new business as usual. It will enable the reader to:
• Understand change
• Plan and prepare for change
• Implement change
• Embed the change
As the Founder and Chief Executive of Maven, Melanie has an extensive track record in the successful realisation of business change within the public and private sectors. This essential new guide authored by Melanie will enable readers to achieve their own success through managing their business transformation effectively, bringing their organisation improved efficiency, increased productivity and greater profitability.
Melanie says, "This book provides a simple set of steps to ensure that change actually happens, and that change initiatives move past the planning stage and into the realisation of benefits. I wrote it in response to requests from so many clients who have an excellent grasp of project, programme and risk management, but who have little or no formal training in change management. I wanted a book that effectively offers best practice in change management, and defines how change management processes can be incorporated into existing project management frameworks."
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance adds, "We are delighted to be publishing this book. Melanie is an expert in this field and an established author, so it is great to have her on board at ITGP. In today's environment it is essential that organisations constantly adapt in order to remain competitive, and change management is a vital skill for any manager to have. This book will prove invaluable for anyone needing the skills to identify the need for change, through to making sure the change happens successfully."
Jessica Wharton, APMG-International comments, "Managing Business Transformation is an easy and enjoyable read. I would happily recommend this to both experienced managers and those just starting out. As Melanie points out, even if you don't deal directly with business transformation, knowledge on how to successfully handle it is priceless in any managerial role." The full review can be read here.
This new title from ITGP will be showcased and available for sale at this year's Business Transformation Expo in October. The book will be available from the Maven and IT Governance Ltd stand, and those visiting the show will be able to attend an interactive presentation led by Melanie, who will also be taking part in a panel discussion.
