I was looking for a book that shows some practices and visual tools for tracking the planning and execution process of change projects. Well, I did not really find it in this book. So the title is in my opinion misleading.
In fact this is an academic book about change and reorganization projects, that covers a variety of topics. In particular the author promotes his his change planning canvas, which I would describe as a systematic data gathering method. For different aspects of change projects it asks some (good) questions, which should be kept in mind. But answering all of them and thoroughly filling the "canvas" will inevitably lead to information overflow.
Let me drraw a comparison to a cooking book:
If you buy one, you get a collection of recipes which you can use based on the occasion or your personal preferences. After coosing a recipe, you read the instructions on how to prepare the meal and prepare it.
Well, if this book was about cooking, it would ask you to list all things that you have availible and which might be relevant for preparing a meal,e.g. spices (pepper, salt, sugar...), cooking devices (oven, mixer, toaster...), main ingredients (meat, vegitables, milk...) and so on. But it would not tell you how to derive a recipe for preparing a tasty meal. So you would have a list alll possibly relevant things, but what are you supposed do with it?
In the end, if you are intersted in in getting a very broad inshight of what might be relevant in a chage project and want to draw your own conclusions based on a ton of facts, buy this book. If you are more interested in practical advice and ready to use concepts, don't buy this one. Get "ReOrg: How to Get It Right", it shows one way to do it.
