Edited By Roger Jones, Neil Murray Copyright 2008

    Change, Strategy and Projects at Work provides a working insight into the nature of change, the formulation of strategy and the implementation of change through projects in the workplace. It is a ‘how to’ book with real practical application, containing the tools, techniques, advice and guidance you need to analyse organisational context, develop a strategic plan and manage a project.

    To help you in leading change and creating opportunities for yourself and your organisation, the book takes an integrated approach to managing change, developing strategy and project management, and covers:

    * How strategic objectives are chosen, promoting awareness of the wider organisational context and the strategic planning process
    * The knowledge, tools, techniques and confidence needed to act as a change agent
    * The skills, competencies and other attributes needed to improve your employability
