Six Batteries of Change: Energize Your Company

by Peter De Prins, Geert Letens, Kurt Verweire

-Combines insights from leadership, strategy, operations management, cultural and people management in one simple model -Toolkits and quick scans are available to help apply these theories to your own organisation -Academically grounded and practically relevant, containing many examples that demonstrate how to tackle a company-wide transformation -Innovative and integrative model, based on cross-disciplinary research at Vlerick Business School and the Belgian Royal Military School (Koninklijke Militaire School) (RMS / KMS) Managing change becomes an increasingly critical capability in today's turbulent and disruptive work environment. Nevertheless, research indicates that failure rates of change initiatives remain high. In The Batteries of Change, the authors propose a new model that helps managers to deal with this challenging topic in a more effective way. The model tracks the extent to which your organisation has the energy to successfully implement change. The book identifies six 'batteries of change' that organisations and managers need to charge for change to become effective, and offers insights into how to keep each of these batteries buzzing. The role of a change manager is to ensure that all six batteries are charged, in order to generate the amount of energy necessary in successfully completing change. If the batteries of change remain empty, the success rate of the change will be limited. The Batteries of Change shows managers how to develop transformation competency by creating a more energised organisation, capable of dealing with faster and more complex change. it does this by setting up new frameworks, and referring to numerous cases to illustrate the effectiveness of each approach.

Dit boek heeft een heel goede kapstok om aan een change traject te beginnen. De metafoor van de batterijen werkt heel goed en wat ik heel goed vind is dat je zowel top-down als bottom-up kunt kijken, met ook genoeg aandacht voor cultuur en 'soft skills'. Ik heb na het lezen van het boek ook nog Leading Change gevolgd aan Vlerick, waarbij de zes batterijen ook dienst doen als onderliggend kader. Niet onlogisch, aangezien de lesgever ook de auteur is van dit boek :-) Ik vind het een aanrader.

Six Batteries of Change by Peter De Prins, Geert Letens and Kurt Verweire.

The general principle this book entails by introducing the concept of battery into the explanation of Management Change is a unique approach and attention-grabbing. Each chapter initiates a “Quick Scan” that helps evaluate your organization’s battery level. I recommend this book to other readers who are keen on the extraordinary knowledge this book has to offer.

Tijden van verandering vergen van organisaties dat ze veranderen. Logisch. Maar hoe doe je dat? Dit doordachte boek maakt, gestoeld op wetenschappelijk onderzoek, aannemelijk dat je integratief en inclusief op velerlei vlakken actief moet zijn: strategie, cultuur, het operationele, ... Het biedt je als leidinggevende een boeiende leidraad om constructief aan de slag te gaan. Aanbevolen literatuur voor wie zijn managementbatterijen wil opladen. Heel wat van de tips en tricks zijn onmiddellijk implementeerbaar.
