Implementing Change

Implementing Change: Patterns, Principles, and Potholes, 5th Edition, explores implementation processes and practical organizational strategies. Grounded primarily in the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), the textbook focuses on the personal dimension of change and the diverse ways individuals respond to institutional transitions.

The volume highlights three interconnected phases of the change process: creating, implementing, and sustaining. Each chapter introduces a research-verified construct designed to capture the complexity of adopting new practices, rather than maintaining an abstract overview of organizational efforts.

Intended for those guiding, implementing, studying, or evaluating change, the text incorporates practical examples, sample research, case studies, reflection questions, and common roadblocks to change.
