Organizations have been among those most severely impacted by external and internal changes among their customers, employees, and stakeholders.

From the internationally acclaimed writing team of Not Another Pretty Binder: Strategic Planning That Actually Works comes another highly-enlightening book that will make significant changes to an organization towards success, The Global Crosswinds of Change.

Taking the reader through the five stages of a change cycle, including Start-up, Growth, Balance, Chaos, and Decline, authors Robert A. Simpkins and Behnaz S. Paknejad dissect the causes and effects, as well as what needs to be done to re-invent the organization.

The knowledge acquired from this book can be applied to private enterprise, government agencies, not-for-profits, and military organizations. It can even be applied to the reader’s own professional growth.
