Jeff Hiatt's first comprehensive text on the ADKAR model examines the model's origins and investigates what drives each ADKAR building piece. Learn how to raise awareness, inspire desire, develop knowledge, encourage ability, and reinforce organizational changes. The ADKAR Model is altering how people think about managing the people side of change, and it provides a strong basis for success.

After more than 14 years of research on organizational transformation, the ADKAR model emerged as a holistic approach that combines a variety of change management tasks into a straightforward, results-oriented paradigm. This paradigm connects all components of change management, such as readiness assessments, sponsorship, communications, coaching, training, and resistance management. All of these actions are integrated into a framework based on the stages required to effect change in persons and organizations.

The ADKAR viewpoint can assist you in developing a fresh lens through which to perceive and impact change. You could be advocating for change in your public school system or on the council of a small city. You might be promoting change in your workplace department. You could be seeing large-scale changes being undertaken at the highest levels of government, or you could be in charge of an enterprise-wide change program.

The ADKAR model's perspective helps you to see change in a new light. You can start to recognize the roadblocks and understand the levers that will propel your changes forward. ADKAR enables you to understand why some modifications are successful while others are not. Most significantly, ADKAR can assist you in making your changes a success. ADKAR is a straightforward and holistic approach to change management based on research with over 900 firms from 59 countries. Therefore, it is regarded as one of the best books on change management you should read.
