The world and its business environments are in a state of constant change. The reality today is that organizations and their leaders are faced with increasingly daunting demands for change and unless they build organizations that can keep pace with these fast-changing environments it will be a challenge simply to survive while at the same time continuing to thrive and embrace uncertainty and disorder. One effective example of a world-renowned company that survived an existential crisis to become one of the most iconic companies in the world: The LEGO Group. In Building a Global Learning Organization (CRC Press 2014) the authors showed how to develop and implement a global structure for learning based on the TWI (Training Within Industry) methods.

Great organizations have used that book as a benchmark for global and national rollouts of TWI programs and standard work initiatives. In this book you get inspiration on how the LEGO Group met these challenges by developing and implementing a framework for transformations to create a common approach to designing leading and anchoring change in an effective and impactful way. You get insights into the journey which began by designing the LEGO Way of Change the process of testing the approach in a bigger transformation which based on pilot learnings was implemented in transformational initiatives. This book outlines some of the approaches that the LEGO Group implemented in order to ensure change would be both successfully implemented and sustained including in-depth guides on impactful interventions with both leaders and people in the organization. The author discusses personalizing and navigating change as well as designing change in the organization and measuring its impact.
