Change Agility: A guide to help you think about change management differently Kindle Edition
We all fall in love with the first successful approach for change that we use, and once it stops working for us, it's tough to change how we approach change.
While we love chasing the next big change method, framework, or playbook, history has shown those flash-in-the-pan ideas render themselves obsolete as the world of business evolves leaving us chasing our tails for the next set of best practices.Who you are and the attitude you bring towards changing your organization is vastly more important than the method, framework, or playbook you pick.
This book will help you with three things:
• How you can transform how you manage change work.
• How you can transform how you think about change.
• How you can transform how you work with agile teams.
Sounds like magic, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it's not, it's hard work, and it's up to you.
Traditional change management has focused on making other people change their behaviour to ensure successful change. Maybe the problem is that we're looking at change through the wrong lens. This book will help you look at change through the lens of true agility. True agility is timeless and based on the values and principles of the agile manifesto. You'll be sorely disappointed if you expect to see a fancy looping diagram or a set of recipes that tell you they'll "ensure maximum ROI and change success". Oh, and you won't see any bullshit statements like that in the book either.
What you will find is plenty of stories, insightful tips, and practical actions based on my 20 years of experience working as a product owner, scrum master, agile team member, change manager, internal and external agile coach, and organizational change agent.
Above that, you'll get connected to a global community of change agents sharing their ideas and stories about how they facilitated meaningful change.Being "more agile" in change management is about you. It's about you taking the time to challenge your assumptions and beliefs. The day I learned how to change my views on change was the day my happiness level being a change agent skyrocketed and I hope this book inspires you down the path of facilitating meaningful change.

About the author
Jason began his career as a web developer when Cold Fusion roamed the earth. Over the following years, he moved into into management, Agile Coaching and consulting. The bumps and bruises collected along the way brought him to the realization that helping organizations adopt Agile practices was less about the practices, and all about change.
In 2008 he attended an experiential learning conference about how people experience change and since then, he's been writing, and speaking, all over the world about helping organizations discover more effective practices for managing organizational change.
Jason is the author of Lean Change Management, Change Agility, The Art and Science of Change, Agile Transformation: A Guide to Organizational Change and in 2024 released From Skeptic to Strategist: Embracing AI in Change Management.

I think working with an editor, or even some motivated proofreaders would catch these and help adjust the book for a better reader experience.
Here’s an example contrasting experience with a large company Big Co and a startup, but when describing the startup environment it is called Big Co, which let’s face it, is confusing:
“Our team at Big Co was responsible for new development, media catalogue management, and support and maintenance, so the way we worked, worked for us. As our company grew from 3 to 30, then to 200, we adapted our processes from the team up, not the other way around.
It felt natural; it was collaborative and straightforward, so once I joined Big Co, I made the mistake of thinking that organic change could work too. I still remember Jack's office's exact location, where I had that initial conversation that felt more like a pre-emptive strike on his part.”
