The book is well written in a clear and understandable in-depth style that makes for easy reading. As can be seen from the Table of Contents, each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of Change and, up to Chapter 10 concludes with a list of references. The text is well supported by a number of good tables, charts and brief actual examples to help the reader understand the content, and exercise practical application.

The fact is that any organizational change is a project whether it be 5 days or 5 years, and this book offers sound advice to that end. The book has a total of 252 pages — it does not include a Glossary of Terms. Following What We Liked, Part 1 we have further expanded our thoughts in What We Liked, Part 2.
