As the business context evolves more rapidly, driven by accelerating technological, political, and social change, an increasing strategic priority for business leaders is how to enact large-scale organizational change. Even companies that are current industry leaders are vulnerable to disruption. Company leaders need to watch over their shoulder for—and transform the company in anticipation of—the next disruption. Mastering the Science of Organizational Change summarizes the work of the BCG Henderson Institute and its fellows and ambassadors over several years to develop a more scientific approach to change. Hundreds of companies are analyzed in the book’s discussion on how to beat the odds in large-scale change management using an evidence-based approach—a large-scale analysis of what approaches actually work in which circumstances. Part 1 of the book reviews the imperatives for self-disruption. The second part elaborates on how to manage the process of change. Finally, Part 3 discusses how organizations can take change to the next level. Events around the book Link to a De Gruyter online event in which, Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, will share lessons on how to develop a more scientific approach to change including how to self disrupt, how to manage the process of change, and how organizations can take change to the next level:https://youtu.be/TfzFllmL4Cg

"The book is well structured, concise and full of good stories that support the theoretical part - and full of ordered list how to start with a successful transformation! In the second section, the book elaborates ways to manage the process of change - I would prefer the process of transformation(!) but at the end of the book exactly that is used. In the following chapters the main reasons why change management fails is explained - Followed by many examples of how to decide when you should transform. The 'always-on' mentality (chapter 13) gave me some insight into the risk of transformation for sustained and long-term growth. The end is well done by having the human-centered approach as topic and not forgotten is the impact of automation and digital transformation. The didactic and content is very good! I'll definitely use some examples in my lectures - and will put it on the reading list!" --Professor Richard Mischak teaches at the American University of Bulgaria (in Sofia) and was formerly employed at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences at the Department of Business Management & Strategy.
