If you’re interested in leading change successfully – whether in your personal life or professional career – The ADKAR Advantage is a perfect fit for you! The book expands on the insights and updates the research presented in ADKAR: A Model for Change© 2006. Even more exciting, this insightful book has not yet hit the market. The book is making its debut on the Polish market and comes highly recommended.
The book offers practical advice on the ADKAR framework, which helps make the concept of change easier to understand and implement. Following ADKAR model will positively impact not only your life but also the lives of those around you. However, the key to success is not just understanding the model but applying it and adopting the recommended behaviors.
The book is structured into three main parts, each aimed at enhancing your understanding of change on different levels: individual, group, and organizational.
Part One focuses on individual change. Here, you’ll explore foundational concepts about change, and learn the history of the ADKAR model, the problem it was designed to address, and the person who developed it. Readers will also be introduced to an individual change assessment process designed to identify and address barriers to successful change while amplifying drivers of success.
Part Two shifts the focus to guiding change across larger groups, even at the organizational or community level. This section introduces the challenges and insights ADKAR provides when moving from individual to group-based change. By extending core concepts like the “three states of change”, readers learn the importance of facilitating individual change within an organization. This part also delves into the structure and methodology (including the Prosci® Methodology) that anchors ADKAR as the heart of change management planning.
Part Three goes beyond understanding ADKAR to examine change management as a critical organizational capability. You’ll learn how change management has evolved into a mission-critical function for organizations worldwide. This section also highlights the role of change practitioners, providing insights into their responsibilities and influence in managing effective change.
In summary, The ADKAR Advantage offers a human-centered approach to change, helping readers understand and support individual change journeys. This book serves as an inspiring example of how adopting a new perspective on change can boost both confidence and competence. Highly recommended for practitioners leading change initiatives and for anyone eager to understand the ADKAR model to drive successful transformations.
