I heard about this book from one of the speakers at the Save the Children Action Network advocacy summit in DC last month, and snatched it up on Overdrive as soon as I could. The number and variety of specific examples were good. I was this close to finishing this morning when I stopped to set up an experiment inspired by the book. Wish me luck! 😉

P.S. When I matched my audio bookmarks with the Kindle/print, I could see how poorly the book is written/edited. As I enjoyed the content, I'm glad that I read the book by ear. If I had read the print edition, I'm not sure I would have finished the book. Yikes!

I'm not a big reader of this kind of book and it took me longer to finish than average. However I did enjoy the little stories of change which it tells and the book does achieve what it set out to do; I now have a good understanding of the framework that Chip and Dan came up with. Now I've just got to find somewhere I can apply it...

This book is easy to digest and full of useful examples to change organizations. I love the Rider, Elephant, Path model. This isn't the kind of book you read and walk away from. It challenges you to apply what you've learned.
