Organizations today face new combinations of speed and complexity in their markets. These conditions, which have become permanent characteristics of the global age, create a leadership environment in which leaders face a steady stream of adaptive challenges, making change management the gateway leadership competency of our time.

Based on a landmark study of large-scale organizational change, EPIC CHANGE[R] provides leaders a strategic-level roadmap and tactical-level toolkit to help them lead mission-critical change initiatives in their organizations. An organization's ability to adapt and adjust to shifting demands is really a function of leadership's capacity to summon and redirect institutional will.

The EPIC approach for change management has been successfully field-tested by leaders around the world, and provides new concepts and tools that build on the prior work of John Kotter John Paul Kotter is a professor at the Harvard Business School, who is widely regarded as the world's foremost authority on leadership and change.
