<p><b>Harness the seven key elements of successful organisational change</b></p> <p><i>Leading for Organisational Change</i> is an intelligent and practical guide to the human side of merger integration and other organisational change. Building a clear sense of common purpose and then reinforcing it through storytelling can underpin the success of an integration or significant change programme. Pulling together the best thinking from neuroscience, psychology and business, and her rich personal experience in twenty years of leading change projects in professional services organisations and other people-centred businesses, author Jennifer Emery presents a framework for change rooted in seven key themes that help organisations establish their BECAUSE: belonging, evolution, confidence, agility, understanding, simplicity and energy. Exploring the role each theme plays in the context of change, this insightful and warm book shares real-world examples and provides advice on building purpose and culture and strengthening motivation through listening, empowering and collaborating.</p> <p>Clear understanding of purpose, powerful communication techniques and carefully planned implementation strategies assist in navigating an often stressful and uncertain period of change, and can even enable organisations to thrive throughout this period. This book encourages you to apply important lessons to your own context, allowing you to:</p> <ul> <li>Focus on the human, cultural and practical elements of organisational change</li> <li>Apply central concepts of communication and motivation to a wide array of situations in your personal and business life</li> <li>Understand perspectives on change from a broad range of professional sectors</li> <li>Build and strengthen communication skills to promote a sense of shared purpose</li> </ul> <p><i>Leading for Organisational Change </i>offers a warm and intelligent perspective on the personal and inter-personal factors that contribute to successful integration. An invaluable resource for professional services and people-focused organisations, this book provides advice that can cross sectors and lend insight to any major change programme.</p>

<b>Jennifer Emery</b> is the Director of Strategy and Integration for CMS. She studied law at Oxford before training and practicing as a corporate lawyer at Linklaters. She 'jumped the fence' into the business side of law firms, by taking a bag-carrier role for the then Managing Partner, Tony Angel. She did her MBA at Henley and her coaching qualification with Meyler Campbell. She did various business roles at Linklaters before leaving and starting her own coaching and consulting business, working with professional services firms and charities. In 2011, she joined CMS as their first Director of People—bringing talent and strategy together. She was a key member in the firm’s 2014 merger with Dundas & Wilson—and then was on the core team leading the three-way merger between CMS, Nabarro and Olswang in 2017, and the subsequent integration and establishment of the new firm.
<p>‘Written by a lawyer, you’d expect this book to be impeccably researched, evidence-based, and brilliantly argued. What you might not expect is a story with so much heart. Emery’s examination of leading organisational change, both rigorous and romantic, will show you how to effect change and create the desire to make it happen.’<br> <b> — Richard Hytner,</b> Adjunct Professor of Marketing, London Business School and founder of beta baboon <p>‘In a world where culture and purpose continue to be under-factored, undervalued and plain misunderstood, this is a hugely important book. And an extremely well written one at that. The author wants this book to “add to the sum of knowledge”. She can absolutely rest assured that it does.’<br> <b>— Nick Jefferson, </b>Partner, Monticello <p>‘A shining light where business books are either drab or over-simplistic, Jennifer Emery speaks to the heart of what modern business should be – purposeful and human.’<br> <b>– Sarah Lloyd-Hughes,</b> Leadership Communications Coach, speaker & ­author, <i>How to be Brilliant at Public Speaking</i> <p>After earning a law degree from Oxford University, Jennifer Emery spent the first twenty years of her career in a variety of legal, strategic and coaching roles across the world’s largest law firms and other professional services firms, always ­focused on how to unleash the potential in individuals and in organisations, often in the context of game-changing merger and integration projects. Jennifer is now Global People Leader at Arup, the leading engineering and design consultancy, and a non-exec advisor to a number of start-ups and not-for-profits. She lives in London with her husband and four children. <p>In this perceptive and warm guide, author Jennifer Emery delivers a brilliant instrument for orchestrating change in any organisation by weaving the latest thinking in neuroscience, psychology and business into a powerful framework. <p><i>Leading for Organisational Change</i> shows all types of organisations that maintaining and thriving during a major transition happens BECAUSE–Belonging, Evolution, Confidence, Agility, Understanding, Simplicity and Energy. In an inspiring narrative rich with first-hand illustrative examples, the author unpacks each one of the acronymic themes to reveal a one-of-a-kind approach to change centred on purpose and values and fuelled by strong storytelling. <p>Write the success story of your own change programme by listening, empowering and collaborating.
