De la solapa interior

In order to be effective, implementation of organizational interventions requires careful planning and coordination at all stages of the process. Industrial psychologists (both consultants and those in-house) who provide their clients with guidance on this strategic process have often struggled with how to find the best approach that will ensure desired results.
Written by experts in the field, this much-needed book fills a void in the literature by offering a guide that focuses on the implementation of organizational interventions. It is filled with concrete models, strategies, and tools for effective implementation and a review of the most current thinking and research related to the topic. Addressing a broad range of topics, Implementing Organizational Interventions

• Offers information on how to intervene in the merger and acquisition process to ensure financial and strategic objectives
• Explores the steps needed to design and implement a succession planning system that will maximize the success of future leaders
• Reviews the critical factors associated with information technology project success and failure
• Highlights the wide variety of compensation systems available and the key challenges in designing and implementing reward systems
• Reveals the development and implementation of practical performance management systems that fit the culture and business needs of an organization
• Includes a useful model (ADDIE) for the successful implementation of training programs.

Throughout the book, the contributors include practical examples and lessons learned from situations they have encountered in the course of implementing their own interventions.
