This book is about changing the world, being a rebel and having a go. It's about how we recognise the need for shifts and summon the courage to make those changes, starting at the smallest level and eventually revolutionising the very way we lead our teams, our companies and our world. I've often had people, in work and in life, tell me it seemed I was trying to change the world. I would get ahead of them and, sometimes, myself with wild ideas, and they'd encourage me to slow down, break it down so they could understand where my brain was headed. This would frustrate me when I was younger, but not so much now. Now I'm proud to think big -- and changing the world seems a great place to start. Hence the title for this book.As one of Australia's leading female technologists, I've spent my career looking to the future. I've helped more than 40 companies adjust to the information revolution of the last 20 years. I've supported business leaders looking for ways to survive the turmoil of the digital age and position their companies for growth and prosperity, with an ever-watchful eye toward what's next. Along the way, I've learned a little something about leadership, about what society needs to achieve to be, not only successful, but sustainable. It's clear to me now, as reports about climate change, geopolitical turmoil and global pandemic fill our daily news feeds, that the future is no longer a given. Change at all levels must happen to ensure we even have a tomorrow, let alone the bright one we have the potential to create if we combine good leadership with the amazing technologies in development right now. It's my hope that the insights I provide here, based on my personal experiences and many years working in the field, will help prepare and inspire you to face the challenges the present demands. Now more than ever, we need to lead radically, think differently and bring together diverse teams of people with a range of personalities and perspectives to make real change. Let this book guide you in thinking about the world today and the world we could create tomorrow -- one unlike anything we've known before, where humans and technology become even more closely entwined and a new type of leader answers the call.

This book deals with the prevailing winds of "change" set to bring havoc to America, and how you can be best prepared. Author, Pastor, and Martial Artist, Phil Lewis writes on why we got here as a nation, and what spiritual, social, economic, and physical changes you can make to "fight fire with fire," and ready yourself and your family for extreme hardships to come. He explains the spiritual, moral decay, the ensuing judgment, and the way of escape in Christ. But he also deals with the practical issues of being strong and protected in a crumbling social and economic world, planning ahead, wise investment, change of habits, and necessary physical changes needed to accomplish these things. Included is an analogy of military strategy for self defense as well as a call and the instructions for men to become the "shepherd warriors" they were meant to be. Professor Lewis, as his students call him, adds a handy summary after each chapter, allowing for easy recall of the main points, and a list of resources at the end of the book. Whether a leader of the home, church, business, or community, or simply a concerned citizen of the U.S.A., this is a must-read and eye-opener for all.

Are you falling behind your competitors? Are you too slow getting your products to market? Are your overheads too high? These are just some of the challenges that companies face. However, initiating successful change strategies is far from easy. 70% of all change programmes fail. This book shows how you can make sure that when change happens (and it frequently does) your company is ready for it. Shareholders want to see change take effect immediately, as each day's delay can cost them money or lose them market share, while staff are often suspicious of change, wondering what's in it for them. How do you make sure the change you want happens successfully, that it has everyone's support, and how do you make it stick? The only way to walk this tightrope without falling off is to leave behind the old models and adapt a new practice of change management. Michael Jarrett draws on established research, case examples and his own wide consulting experience to illustrate that current models of step change are largely doomed to failure and proposes a new framework that aligns both the internal and external dynamics of change. In a refreshingly clear and practical approach, Changeability points to a new route to successful change which uses a balanced approach taking account of the four key levers of change. First, take the online diagnostic test to benchmark your organisation against others in terms of your ability to change and to assess your relative strengths and weaknesses. Then use the tools, methods and techniques outlined by Jarrett to develop winning change strategies customised for your company. There are four main groups of strategies, depending upon your situation - so choose the one that's right for you and open the door to accelerated and sustainable change.
