TransformAble by Angie Tuglus

Avoid the deadly pitfalls that doom 70 percent of complex business transformations, with this easy-to-read and actionable roadmap to success.

Transformation is not easy. It's complex, scary, and fraught with political and economic peril. According to McKinsey, 70 percent of business transformations fail. Yikes! Those are some tough odds.

Yet, business transformation is not optional. The world is constantly changing, and sooner or later something--disruptive technology, major acquisitions, shifting consumer behavior will force an organization's hand, often at the eleventh hour.

If you've been tasked with leading a high-stakes transformation, this book will show you how to navigate the perils ahead and not only complete your mission, but lock in lasting value.

In TransformAble, business transformation expert Angie Tuglus distills decades of experience leading mission-critical, cross-functional change initiatives into a five-phase framework for transforming high-level, visionary concepts into sustainable operating realities. You'll learn how to identify and avoid common pitfalls, as well as build thoughtful, engaging narratives that both keep the transformation on course and convince key players to trust in the plan. Sharp, xkcd-style comics combine with the author's wit, candor, and deep expertise to make this book an entertaining page-turner as well as an indispensable guide.

Fun, fast-paced, and extremely useful, TransformAble is for business transformation leaders who have no time to waste and cannot afford to fail.
