Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) – AI OCLeadership for 2026: Volumes 1–10 and A–E

Updated: 2 days ago

Leadership of Change® - Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) - 15 Volumes


The Leadership of Change® CMBoK is a comprehensive resource designed to empower leaders in navigating the complexities of organisational change. Anchored in the innovative ten-step a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®), this collection provides both foundational and advanced insights for sustainable transformation.


Across Volumes 1–10 and A–E, leaders will find:


  • Foundational texts: fables, pocket guide, and handbook that establish the principles of change.

  • Advanced volumes: deep dives into leadership, adoption, behaviour, and sponsorship.

  • Critical perspectives: exposing the risks of charade and insanity in change practices.

  • Experiential Learning: developing change leadership skills and knowledge in a workshop.


Together, these volumes form a practical and philosophical body of knowledge that enables boards, CEOs, senior leadership teams, and change professionals to strengthen strategies, embed discipline, and achieve lasting organisational transformation.


"AI 'Wow', to the AI 'Oh No', to the Disciplined AI 'OCLeadership'" ~ Peter F. Gallagher

Leadership of Change® Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, A, B, C, D, & E

Change Management Insanity – Volume 9

The CMBoK is not merely a collection of volumes—it is the doctrinal backbone of AI OCLeadership for 2026, where artificial intelligence is integrated with organisational change maturity. Each book becomes a diagnostic instrument, helping leaders interpret complexity, expose charades, and embed truth‑driven transformation. As organisations move from the early AI “Wow” (excitement and novelty) through the inevitable AI “Oh No” (misuse, confusion, and performative chaos), the CMBoK anchors the emergence of Disciplined AI "OCLeadership"—an architecture built on wisdom, ownership, and will.


This is leadership as a moral act. The fables teach courage, the handbooks embed structure, and the advanced volumes confront behavioural and leadership pathology with precision. When combined with Disciplined AI OCL and the WOW Triad, the CMBoK becomes more than instructional—it becomes instrumental. It provides a teachable, repeatable system for legacy‑building, enabling leaders to move beyond managing change to leading it with clarity, cadence, and conviction.
