Viral Change ready to infect attendees at Book Expo America 2007

May 30, 2007 - PRLog -- London, UK (PR Log) May 30th, 2007 – It is common knowledge that most conventional ‘change management’ programmes fail, usually because these programmes are based on several flawed assumptions. They focus on changing processes and systems, communicate these changes to the world and totally ignore the behavioural side of change.  

In ‘Viral Change’, the author shows how a combination of the right language and ‘frame’, a small set of non-negotiable behaviours and the production of ‘tipping points’ creates lasting cultural change in organizations. ‘Viral Change’ shows how change in organizations has more to do with creating ‘purpose-driven infections’ of new ideas or new ways of doing than with a traditional communication-based stepwise approach. Unlike conventional methods of change management, Viral Change is faster, far more effective and definitely long lasting.
