Summary
PART 1 Introduction Change in business is nothing new - it's the pace of change. The digital revolution has destroyed old businesses and created vast new empires. To survive, organizations must be quick to adapt - but people, generally, don't like change. How can change be best managed? Drivers Of Change: these might be threats or opportunities, they may come from inside or outside the organization, they may involve a merger or restructuring - often it will require a cultural change. Change Projects: these may be limited to one department or bold, company-wide initiatives - either way they will involve a change project. But the stats are not good: over 70% of change projects fail. Following the guidelines of Kotter and Schlesinger we look at why change projects fail and how to overcome resistance. We hear other expert voices. Also covered: how a change project is organised, the importance of leadership and follow-up. PART 2 Change Management Case Studies Note: the two case studies below repeat some material from the TV Choice films Change And Disruption: An Amazon.com Case Study and Global Change Strategies: The Car Industry. Amazon.com: Amazon has been called the world's most disruptive company. It's put a bomb under conventional retailing, publishing and cloud storage services. But to achieve such amazing external success, Amazon needs the internal culture of constant challenging, constant change. How do they do it?. PSA: By 2014, PSA, owners of the Peugeot and Citroën brands, was in deep financial trouble: we outline new CEO Carlos Tavares' plan to transform the business. Will he succeed?

Summary
Training is a way of making staff more valuable to the company and feel more valued. Development is a wider concept - about helping an employee to realise their full potential. Different types: There are different kinds of training, including induction training, on-the-job and off-the-job training. Training in "hard skills", such as computer skills, or factory skills, is easier to justify than "soft-skills" training - such as interpersonal skills. Coaching and mentoring are also forms of training. Training Decisions - Businesses waste huge sums of money on the wrong kind of training. That's why they need to apply a training needs analysis and monitor the results of training. Progressive organisations see training as part of their very fabric - they see themselves as "learning organisations".

Summary
Recruitment should be seen not just as a process of filling vacancies, but as a part of workforce planning generally. The first stage in filling a vacancy is to define the vacancy - the job description. The selection procedure varies from simply interviewing people to complex assessment processes involving tests of various kinds. Psychometric tests are supposed to find candidates with the right personality for a job. Many companies also require probationary periods. But why, despite all this, does recruitment so often go wrong?
