As the business context evolves more rapidly, driven by accelerating technological, political, and social change, an increasing strategic priority for business leaders is how to enact large-scale organizational change. Even companies that are current industry leaders are vulnerable to disruption. Company leaders need to watch over their shoulder for-and transform the company in anticipation of-the next disruption.
Mastering the Science of Organizational Change summarizes the work of the BCG Henderson Institute and its fellows and ambassadors over several years to develop a more scientific approach to change. Hundreds of companies are analyzed in the book's discussion on how to beat the odds in large-scale change management using an evidence-based approach-a large-scale analysis of what approaches actually work in which circumstances.
Part 1 of the book reviews the imperatives for self-disruption. The second part elaborates on how to manage the process of change. Finally, Part 3 discusses how organizations can take change to the next level.

"The book is well structured, concise and full of good stories that support the theoretical part - and full of ordered list how to start with a successful transformation! In the second section, the book elaborates ways to manage the process of change - I would prefer the process of transformation(!) but at the end of the book exactly that is used. In the following chapters the main reasons why change management fails is explained - Followed by many examples of how to decide when you should transform. The 'always-on' mentality (chapter 13) gave me some insight into the risk of transformation for sustained and long-term growth. The end is well done by having the human-centered approach as topic and not forgotten is the impact of automation and digital transformation. The didactic and content is very good! I'll definitely use some examples in my lectures - and will put it on the reading list!"
