Business Expert Press Accelerated Quantum Technologies Change Management

Accelerated Quantum Technologies Change Management offers business and technology leaders a guide to navigating and accelerating their organization’s quantum technology journey.Quantum technologies are rapidly emerging across digital ecosystems with transformative potential—from breakthroughs in pharmaceuticals and climate modeling to risks that threaten cybersecurity. These technologies offer opportunities but also urgent challenges, particularly the risk of quantum attacks on classical encryption systems. There is Q-Day and Encryptogeddon to manage. Despite the growing importance of quantum readiness, many organizations face adoption barriers, including limited capabilities and uncertainty about where to begin. This book addresses those challenges with precision.Greg Skulmoski presents a change management approach to help organizations overcome quantum hesitancy and accelerate adoption. He tailors proven practices to build awareness, inspire desire, and develop the knowledge needed to implement and optimize quantum solutions. Drawing on lessons from ultra-fast construction projects—such as the 12-day delivery of an 1,800-bed hospital in Wuhan, China—Skulmoski explores how schedule compression techniques apply to quantum projects. Leaders are guided through a practical evaluation aligned with risk tolerance and strategic goals. Written for quantum champions, IT and cybersecurity leaders, project managers, digital executives, and board members, this book equips decision-makers with strategic insight and tools to confidently lead quantum change—turning uncertainty into opportunity.
