While there are many books specific to Change Management or Continuous Improvement, there are few, if any books that address the intersections between Change Management and Continuous Improvement. After 30+ years being a change agent implementing lean and process improvement, the author’s hypothesis on why continuous improvement efforts “stick” sometimes and other times not, is that many leaders of these efforts fail to understand the importance of change management and the critical intersections between people and process improvement.
