Greetings!
 
 
There is a glitch in the online ordering system. A good friend just sent me a note. He tried to order 50 copies and got an amazingly high shipping charge. That is a mistake. And we are trying to fix it now.

In the meantime, if you want to be "in line" to order the book, just send me a note telling me how many copies you'd like to purchase. No need to send credit card information at this time.

Robin or I will be back in touch with you the first week of June to get credit card information and tell you the shipping charge. . .or you could wait a couple of days and try placing the order in our online cart. And I am sorry to say, I cannot fulfill orders until June.

Even with this glitch, I so hope you'll consider the book. By the way, the cost for buying 100 or more is within pennies of my actual cost.

Thanks.

Rick

Making a Compelling Case for Change
 
I am taking my small booklet, Making a Compelling Case for Change off the market. (Some of the
Special Pricing, Only $8.95
Book Cover Making A Compelling Case for Change
content will be included in the new edition of Beyond the Wall of Resistance.) So I am selling off the remaining copies at really low prices. I need to clear out the inventory. I know this sounds like a late-night infomercial, but I really am going to take it off the market next month. 
 
Here's a description of Making a Compelling Case for Change: 
 
The most successful changes in organizations have one important thing in common - the people who have a stake in the outcome see the need to change. Our research also found as people's understanding of a need for a change went down, the failure rate went up. Making a compelling case of change is essential - and it tends to be the most neglected stage in the life of a change.
 
This is a practical little book, perfect for planning teams. It includes: 4 Critical Questions
  • Leverage the Levels (of support and resistance) to Make a Compelling Case
  • How You Can Tell When You've Made a Compelling Case
  • Creating a Culture That Supports Change
  • Now You've got Urgency, What's Next?
The book is filled with practical tools like my 5-5 Stakeholder Analysis. In just 32 pages, the book walks you through the questions you need to ask and the tasks you need to perform to make a compelling case for change.

Price:
1 copy $8.95 plus shipping and handling
10 to 100 copies $3.50 per copy plus shipping and handling 
over 100 copies the cost is $2.75 per book plus shipping and handling
 
We will fulfill all orders the first week of June. Just in case we run out, we will be fulfilling orders on a first-come first-served basis.
