Editorial Review: Product Description: Creating Contagious Commitment: Applying the Tipping Point to Organizational change is essential to anyone interested in the process of organizational change. It builds on the diverse resources in the Tipping Point computer simulation, which builds on lessons from public health, systems thinking and organizational theory. Creating Contagious Commitment simultaneously provides a solid foundation and helps the reader to think out-of-the-box to create contagious, sustainable change. Illustrations and examples of change initiatives bring the concepts to life and make it easy for the reader to apply them immediately to his or her own change initiative. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best in class tool to assist to understand and deal with Organizational ChangeDr. Andrea Shapiro is a friend and colleague from the days when we were both employed by Nortel Networks, a telecommunications firm recognized for "delivering communications capabilities that enhance the human experience, securing and protecting the world's most critical information."

Great application for business, schools, churches, volunteers, anyone wanting to motivate people with a common goal, purpose, or vision. Rating: - gaining insight I heartily recommend this book to anyone seeking insight into the peculiarities of organizational/workplace change. It has helped me understand why so many workplace "initiatives" seem doomed to failure almost before they have been launched. More important, the author provides concrete examples of remedies to prevent these failures. The author's writing style is clear, jargon-free, and to the point. The examples she uses to illustrate her ideas are clearly stated, and interesting. I read this book ... Read More Rating: - Good things do indeed come in small packages.In less than 200 pages, Dr. Shapiro provides an informative, engaging overview of change management concepts, principles and tactics. The inclusion of brief cases and summary graphics facilitate understanding and memorization of key points. As a management consultant and educator, I look forward to recommending this book to clients and students seeking practical information on making change work. Browse for similar items by category:
