Review: Managing the People Side of Change - ADKAR is an acronym for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. ADKAR is Jeff's force field model for leading people through a change project. According to the author, it is about managing the people side of change, not project management, software revision change or another definition of change management. Using the ADKAR model can help you help employees navigate from the old way of working to a new way of doing their job in the shortest, most efficient way. Less resistance, more engagement. And we all know that engaged people are more productive. The author, Jeffrey Hyatt, is the president of Prosci Research and founder of the Change Management Learning Center. He has completed seven worldwide benchmark studies over the last thirteen years, and has developed a training program that reaches across the globe. He is also one of the founders of the newly formed ACMP (Association of Change Management Professionals). This, in my opinion, makes him an expert on the subject. Given the amount of research he has done, ADKAR is certainly worth reading and testing out. At the very least, you will have a greater understanding of what people go through during change. ADKAR is also a great starting point for understanding why projects go south. The book has a lot of what to do, how to do it, and who is responsible for doing it. You will learn about identifying barrier points at each of the five phases and what to do about it. If you read Jeff's book, absorb the learning, and follow his suggestions, its likely see improved results on your next project. Considering 70-85% of all change projects fail, any tool that helps you analyze and correct is worth a try. I am already applying lessons learned on existing projects and it has been quite helpful. The book is small, easy to read, and offers many tips on how to get a change project on track, what you can do to diagnose a sick project, and how to get the project moving again. Overall, I found it to be a great book on change management. Jeff's writing style is simple, clear, and concise. This is the first book I have read by the author, but I recently purchased his other two since reading this one and I will review them soon.
Review: Will Work Great In Churches - Every church is changing. This might be a truth that is denied, but the reality exists. This book helps with the process of change. Over the years, I have read countless books on change and the process of change from business perspectives to church materials, and most times, the material is good and too complex. There is too much to think about which causes confusion. This book is different. It is a simple path forward for a church or any organization. It is a quick read, that is packed full of relevant and helpful material. The process is easy to follow, as each letter stands for a word. It is Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. In reading the book, I saw numerous places in which the church struggles in following through on change. This is a good book for churches because of the simplicity of the material and model. Well worth a leader's time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read
*by F***T on June 7, 2021*

I wonder how can this be applied to American history to combat racism. How can we get government bodies, private and public businesses alike to help combat this disease for the well being of all using the ADKAR method.
