Many organizations start high-speed,high-change projects without knowing how to do them-and evenworse, without knowing they don't know. Successful completionof these projects is often at the expense of the project team.

The four goals of the book are to

introduce frameworks to guide theiterative process of managing change
institute collaboration, the interactionof people on three levels: interpersonal, cultural, andstructural
