"Preparing for the Future" has been written both as a general background to the management of change and as a practical reference guide for those responsible for implementing change within their industry. For easy access to the key management issues, the book is laid out with each of the main text headings on the outer edge of each page. To find a particular section quickly, simply check the heading in the index pages and flick through the book to the appropriate section. I would like to suggest however that a more practical and structured approach would be to take your time and read this book from cover to cover, as this will give you the best of practical points on managing change in your organization. However you use this book, I hope that it will prove a useful and especially a practical tool when faced with a period of change in your organization.
