About the Book: Leadership of Change® Volume A is a workshop manual used as one of the aids for learning change management through gamification. The benefits of change management gamification include a safe, fun learning environment with instant feedback and team learning that can be applied immediately back in the workplace. Volume A is a leadership simulation tool that focuses on change leadership. It helps leaders test different leadership change strategies through experiential learning with their peers. The colourful manual includes a case study about the implementation of an IT system to support the organisation as it adopts new technology and changing customer buying habits. The participants play the Head of Change role, working with twelve key stakeholders and an external partner to successfully implement change. Change leadership is usually played over a day and has three phases: Plan, Execute and Sustain. The simulation follows the ten step a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®). There are ten rounds and during each round the change leaders pick their chosen change tactic before they find out how the stakeholders react. The change tactics are supported by over 40 change management concepts, graphically illustrated.

​

Leaders go about their daily task of implementing the organisation’s strategy to deliver financial results. All of a sudden there is a change explosion that disrupts normal day-to-day operations. This is the leadership paradox:

Implementing change versus delivering day-to-day operations. 

Leaders then need to adjust their focus to implement the change, so that the organisation stays ahead of the competition and continues to deliver revenue to its shareholders. That means the change has to ensure a return on investment, full employee change adoption, and sustainable change. This manual and the supporting workshop starts to provide the leaders of the organisation with the new change leadership skills and knowledge. Our Change Leadership Alignment process develops change leadership capability so the organisation’s leaders are aligned, as a high performing team, with change leadership skills and knowledge to successfully lead your organisation’s change, transformation or improvement to accelerate employee change adoption and deliver sustainable long-term benefits.
