I’ve now written three books, and over 200 blog posts, articles & whitepapers. I’m lucky to love writing and usually have something to say!

Conversations of Change: A guide to workplace change was published in 2017 and was written to help managers identify what they need to do to land change successfully.

Managing change in a workplace can be a difficult process. Your focus should be on the opportunity it presents, not the problem that's been created. Conversations of Change is a practical guide that navigates experienced and inexperienced managers alike through the process of identifying, creating and measuring real and effective change. 

We know that the field of change management is complex, often obtuse, jargon-laden, and difficult to navigate at speed without a guide.

Managers are increasingly expected to initiate, lead and execute change in the workplace. Often with little knowledge or experience of change management.

Conversations of Change: A guide to implementing workplace change will make it easy for managers to work out what they need to do, who they need to help them, and what to consider in their workplace change efforts.

In doing so it offers the opportunity to build their change capability and their team’s change capability. It's also a gold mine for those who want to fast track a career in organizational change.

  • ”Implementing Workday was a major transformation for Aurecon as we had no single HR system and planned to go live across all 25 countries on one day. Therefore the change management on the project was critical. Jen did an amazing job engaging with stakeholder in the project team and also with end users across all countries. Jen was able to develop simple engagement and communication methodologies that gave the various stakeholders the information they required at the appropriate time. As a result the uptake of Workday and feedback from end users was positive.”
