Lean Change Management: Innovative Practices For Managing Organizational Change Paperback – October 3, 2014

Such a great read. This book is a must for all change managers. It's easy to read using examples throughout and contains practical tips that you can immediately put into practice.

I found this book to be extremely helpful in regards to brushing up on change management concepts and new philosophies as it relates to the concept of lean. The examples are great, particular those related to lean coffee's and insight sessions. This book does have supplemental information that can be found on the website leanchange.org. I would suggest this book if you are looking to brush up on new concepts related to change management, or if you need visual examples to use in practice.

Lean Change Management is an excellent tool to deal with Change fast and limit the risk to a lesser amount of time. I believe that this is a clear process to deal with change but it needs to have full commitment by the teams and the organization which I believe is one of the biggest problems with implementing Agile approaches as well as Change Management processes. Teams usually start by adopting Agile approaches but as the project keeps moving forward they usually tend to avoid processes implementations and keep working as best suits them. By implementing processes to deal with Change I believe that one person should dedicate itself to implement everything and take care solely of the experiments, and to try to change the teams and the organization's mindsets and let them acknowledge that changes are necessary in order to improve efficiency and productivity.

It is chocked full of ideas...but a bit all over the place.

This book is an absolute must have for anybody and any group leading change within their organization.I have seen this book evolve over the last couple of years.This book explains the theory but also has a lot of tools that you can immediately use to implement changes in a efficient and low risk manner. He uses the lean approach of doing a lot of experiments rapidly, and pivoting as you get feedback and insight to the changes.People and organizations are complex. There is a lot of personal emotions that come with change. These proven tools that Jason shares helps depersonalize the change by using big visible displays to filter personal attachments.We have all read books on the theory of change. This is the first book that I've come across that has actually given me tools to effectively implement change...immediately.Time today is a rare commodity. I highly recommend using your limited time to read this book. It's going to save you a lot of time and pain afterwords.

Would recommend to others interested in effective change. However I would have liked more theory on lean management. Overall a good reference

For months I was working on an Agile transformation with a client, trying different things to move the needle forward. I found it difficult to design, organize, track, and communicate what I was working on. LCM was a game changer for me as it enabled me to do all of those things in a light-weight framework that just made sense. What I love most about LCM is that it uses Agile thinking and methods to do Agile (or other) transformations. The way Jason lays out how to convert insights into options and into experiments just makes sense! Ever since introducing LCM at my client, I've been able to build the organizations Change Agent network and now work with that team to continue the movement forward, moving the organization forward towards the target state.

Ok read.I don't quite get the "innovative practices" subtitle, I did not learn anything new at all! Contains plenty of "models" - but all well-known (and some quite "worn", like the McKinsey "7S" model) by experienced change managers.What's so different about "Lean" change management? I did not get any insights about that from this book.John Kotter's "Leading Change" and the Peter Senge's "Fifth Discipline Fieldbook" are 20 years old but much better and more relevant than this one.
