The Change Practice Playbook

 

A Dynamic Collection Of Popular Change Practices

This playbook is a collection of tried-and-true practices generously shared by experienced change practitioners. It’s not a methodology, nor a step-by-step guide, instead it offers friendly, practical guidance on tools and approaches that have proven effective in real-world change-making.

We’ve called it a ‘play-book’ to encourage you to experiment and adapt these ideas in ways that suit your unique challenges and context.

Organised loosely around the Change Practice Framework featured in The Effective Change Manager: The Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK®), 2nd Edition, this resource provides actionable examples to support your change management efforts.

Whether you’re seeking practical techniques or curious about what works for others in the field, this playbook is designed to inspire and support you in your change management journey.

It’s Complicated

 

Why Faith-Inspired Cause Driven Organisations are so complex and what to do about it

Untangling the Maze: Mastering complexity in Faith-Inspired organisations

Faith-Inspired Cause-Driven Organisations (FICDOs) make a profound yet often unnoticed impact. They employ hundreds of thousands and serve millions daily, shaping communities and changing lives.

But all is not well. These organisations may seem straightforward, but their complexity runs deep. Too often, this leads to dysfunction—making work frustrating, draining, and unsustainable. And when an organisation struggles internally, its mission suffers.

How do we create better FICDOs?

The first step is understanding what makes them complex. Next, we must recognise that traditional corporate best practices often don’t work in FICDO contexts. Instead of forcing ill-fitting models, we need fresh approaches—ones that embrace their unique challenges and empower them to thrive in their mission.

George

George tells the life story of George T Tilston, who experienced his fair share of trouble and sorrow in his first threescore and ten years: two world wars, a great depression and a deep recession to name a few.
