Draws on the author’s wealth of practical experience and emphasizes that the elements of change are interrelated, that they constitute a “Web of Change”: change one element and you must see what the impact will be on the others.
Identifies and explains eight key elements of change.
A way to measure change in each element and its affect on the others is presented on paper and through a computer program on an enclosed disk.
