However, without a clear strategy in place that fosters support from your entire organisation you face immense risk including the loss of reputation, growth and investment. Ark Group's report, Implementing an Effective Change Management Strategy presents the latest thinking on how leading organisations around the world are successfully managing change. It examines the tools currently being used, highlights the key challenges faced and provides a framework for implementing successful change initiatives within your own organisation.
