How to understand the dynamics of change

Change is an inherent part of life, shaping our experiences, decisions and futures. This book helps project professionals at the start of their career and beyond understand the dynamics of change and how to navigate it effectively. It covers:

• The nature of change: Drawing on the VUCA model, psychological reactions to change and Ken Blanchard’s seven dynamics of change to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.
• The human side of change: Developing and harnessing emotional intelligence to navigate change and succeed in projects.
• Looking to the future: Exploring four key forces shaping change — AI and automation, remote and hybrid work, sustainability and ESG, and the shift toward continuous change.
• Practical frameworks, tools and mindsets: Building agility, resilience and foresight in the face of uncertainty.

By applying these insights, readers can become confident agents of change, anticipating challenges, embracing opportunities and guiding themselves and others through transformation in a rapidly evolving world.
