"I am happy to recommend this work. I believe in the principles presented in it and identify with its context. Due to the lack of knowledge on the subject in the market, it is a topic that must be made known. The book should be in the library of all project and change managers."-- Paul Dinsmore, PMI Fellow"Every manager should integrate HCMBOK(R) practices into their project management methodology in order to fully develop their work. This book addresses a simple and practical way that the critical component in organizational change management can be applied to projects of all kinds: the human factor."-- Bruno Machado, Director, Project Management Office, Grupo Anima Educação"We live in a time of change, speed, and an avalanche of information. It is still very difficult for most companies to change their organizational culture efficiently. This book makes us reflect upon the crucial element in any change, and which most managers do not place in the foreground--the people." -- Joyce Meyer, CEO, iDigo"In today's constantly changing world, the Project Manager must have sensitivity to how people react to change.
