Part I
Challenges to Be Faced

In this part of the book I set out the challenges many organizations face in driving through the changes they need to make in pursuit of their strategic objectives. This is followed by a review of good practice used by some of the world’s leading companies.

How to use Part I

Part I is for you to read and learn from. When first reading it, you should forget about your own situation and the problems in your organization. Open your mind to what others are saying and doing. If you find yourself saying “but we don’t do it like that, we are different!” pull yourself back. You are different. So is everyone else. But other people’s experience, even from other industries or sectors, may give you a clue to dealing with the issues confronting you.

The workouts in Part I are designed to help you think about your “project” and to prompt action or discussion on the parts you feel will benefit you.
