Change Management for Risk Professionals

Change Management for Risk Professionals addresses a need in the marketplace for risk professionals to learn about change management. Organizations exist within a complex and changing environment. The changes within the organizational context (e.g., societal, technological, and customer preferences) place pressure upon the organization to remain relevant and competitive. Change is not inherently wrong; our perceptions of the change make it negative or positive. A perceived negative change can become a real opportunity for improvement if desired. Systemic degradation and irrelevancy are the results of an organization that fails to acknowledge the reality of change.

The book focuses on the dynamics of change management with an eye toward the risk professional. There is a real need for an uncomplicated resource that helps educate non-change management professionals involved in risk-oriented change initiatives. Examples of risk disciplines are organizational resilience, business continuity, risk management, crisis management, and security management, but any discipline or function within an organization focuses on risk. Any organizational project is an initiative requiring dynamic change management skills.

The author brings his extensive experience to offer risk practitioners advice, industry examples, and best practices to the change management process. Change Management for Risk Professionals will be a welcome addition to enterprise-wide business continuity, crisis management, disaster recovery, security management, and homeland security professionals wanting to learn the secrets to becoming successful in initiating organizational change.

《風險專業人員的變革管理》針對風險專業人員學習變革管理的需求，填補了市場上的一個空缺。組織存在於一個複雜且不斷變化的環境中。組織內部環境的變化（例如社會、技術和客戶偏好）對組織施加了保持相關性和競爭力的壓力。變革本身並不錯誤；我們對變革的看法使其變得正面或負面。如果需要，一個被認為是負面的變革可以成為改善的真正機會。系統性的退化和無關性是一個未能認識到變革現實的組織的結果。

該書聚焦於變革管理的動態，並專注於風險專業人員。非變革管理專業人士參與風險導向的變革計劃，需要一個簡單易懂的資源來提供教育。風險專業領域的例子包括組織彈性、業務持續性、風險管理、危機管理和安全管理，但組織內的任何學科或職能都專注於風險。任何組織項目都是一個需要動態變革管理技能的計劃。

作者通過自己豐富的經驗，提供風險從業人員在變革管理過程中的建議、行業實例和最佳實踐。《風險專業人員的變革管理》將成為企業範圍內業務持續性、危機管理、災難恢復、安全管理和國土安全專業人員的受歡迎的資源，他們希望學習如何成功發起組織變革的秘訣。
