The demand for risk professionals to gain knowledge in change management is addressed by Change Management for Risk Professionals. Organizations operate in a dynamic and ever-evolving environment, where changes within the organizational context, such as societal, technological, and customer preferences, exert pressure on the organization to remain relevant and competitive. It is important to recognize that change itself is not inherently negative; rather, it is our perceptions of change that determine whether it is viewed as positive or negative. Perceived negative changes can actually present opportunities for improvement if desired. However, neglecting to acknowledge the reality of change can lead to systemic degradation and irrelevancy within an organization.

The book specifically focuses on the dynamics of change management with an emphasis on the needs of risk professionals. There is a genuine need for a resource that simplifies the education of non-change management professionals involved in risk-oriented change initiatives. Risk disciplines, including organizational resilience, business continuity, risk management, crisis management, and security management, are just a few examples, but any discipline or function within an organization that deals with risk is encompassed. Any organizational project necessitates the application of dynamic change management skills.

The author, with his extensive experience, provides valuable advice, industry examples, and best practices to guide risk practitioners through the change management process. This book will be a valuable addition to enterprise-wide business continuity, crisis management, disaster recovery, security management, and homeland security professionals who aim to excel in initiating organizational change.
