A guide to help you think about change management differently.
Stop looking for the next agile change framework. Change Agility helps you understand the intent behind agile—so you can create your own approach to change that matches your context, rather than forcing someone else's square peg into your round hole.
After more than 15 years helping organizations adopt agile practices across software, HR, change management, and marketing, Jason Little wrote Change Agility to get back to what matters: values and principles over frameworks and certifications.
This book doesn't give you another playbook. Instead, it guides you through creating your own change manifesto by adapting the agile manifesto's values and principles to your context. Along the way, you'll discover why so many agile change efforts miss the mark—and how to fix that.
Packed with real stories, practical exercises, and a workbook section, Change Agility is designed to make you think, not give you another process to follow.
Understand the intent behind agile so you can derive practices from principles—not blindly copy someone else's playbook.
Guided exercises to create a change manifesto that captures the spirit of agile, adapted to your unique context and challenges.
Stories from organizations worldwide—including what happened at The Commission since Lean Change Management was published.
Explores the Satir model, coping stances, and the five freedoms to help you grow as a change agent from the inside out.
"This book challenges you to think differently about change. It's not a cookbook—it's a mirror that helps you see your own assumptions."
"If Lean Change Management was the 'how,' Change Agility is the 'why.' A must-read for anyone serious about modern change management."
"Finally, a book that goes back to what agile is really about—values and principles, not certifications and frameworks."
