They also need to understand the targeted end-users—the potential adopters of the change. Fortunately, another group of researchers and writers from sociology, psychology, and education offers substantial guidance for this kind of understanding. They address such questions as—How do those on the receiving end of the change feel and behave? What are their concerns? How does their social network affect their acceptance of the change? How can a change agent facilitate their buy-in? This book brings together these two separate areas of expertise and provides mid-level change agents with help appropriate to their organizational position.This book also has a characteristic not always present in books about change; it is theory-based, but practitioner-oriented. The Chocolate Model is not only based on reliable research data and theoretical expertise (referenced in the text and in the End Notes), but it also translates this data and expertise into practical prescriptions for action. Each chapter addresses some dimension or issue of the change situation and most include a worksheet activity in which you can apply what you’ve read to your own organizational change.
