Surviving Change

All the things you want to know about surviving change but are afraid to ask


  • Got to lead a change initiative?

  • Having change imposed on you?

  • Don't trust your HR team?

  • Can't afford another failure?

  • Yet another restructure?

  • Got to make unpopular process improvements?

  • Not interested in theory - just wanna know what works?

  • Need to survive?

Most of us are involved with messy situations where the principles and "rules" of good change leadership and management are not applied, and all too often change is imposed on us.



I have been there


  • Large messy projects
  • Small messy initiatives
  • Failed
  • Succeeded
  • Hit targets
  • Pushed through unpopular measures
  • Sacked people
  • Made people cry
  • Been reduced to tears myself
  • I have lived through management reins of terror
  • Worked for tyrannical numbers-obsessed bosses
  • Built teams
  • Implemented strategy
  • Facilitated change
  • Won friends in business and influenced people

In short, I've been there, seen it and done it - the good the bad and the ugly. I know what works and what doesn't - and why I have the scars to prove it.

I have also done the homework, read the books absorbed the wisdom of the gurus and this whole site is a testament to my commitment and knowledge about leading, managing and (most importantly) surviving change.

So if you are looking to survive change and succeed, and if you want to benefit from another man's experience there's no need to look any further:

- No need to read yet another management book
- No need to go on an expensive course
- No need to put yourself at the mercy of external consultants



The Practitioners' Masterclass & Guick Guide - in bite sized chunks!


All you need to know in 8 brief lessons

The "Surviving Change" package of 8 brief ebooks will take you through all of the materials in the Practitioners' Masterclass and Quick Guide in individual lessons. All of the content is the same - the only difference is the format and presentation of material.

These lessons can be purchased individually - so you can progress at your own pace or as a complete set.

The material is written in the perspective of someone who has to lead and manage change. But it works just as well if you are having change imposed on you and it will give you maximum leverage with your superiors and the tools to diagnose the likely impact of what they're trying to push through.

The material is broken down into 8 easily digestible sections as mini-ebooks each comprising about 20 pages.

You get executive summaries, resources sections, summary notes and easy to follow checklists.

It is designed and written to cover and integrate all main aspects of the complexity of successful change management yet presented as a set of simple, practical working tools for the non-expert.
