In an era where transformation is no longer optional, Setting Up Strategic CMOs is a timely and essential guide for leaders navigating the complexities of constant change. Isolde Kanikani presents a compelling case for the Change Management Office (CMO) as a strategic cornerstone that builds organisational change capability, far beyond a mere support function.
Drawing on real-world experience and pioneering insight, Kanikani reveals how to design CMOs that not only survive but thrive, by aligning deeply with organizational purpose, value delivery, and evolving business priorities. This book doesn't just show how to set up a CMO; it shows how to future-proof it ensuring it delivers measurable value long after the initial launch. Done through democratising change, measuring maturity with the C+MMF model, harnessing ChangeOps and ensuring that the CMO is one tool in the organisational change capability tool box.
More than a manual and real-life case studies, this is a strategic call to action for CXOs, transformation leaders, and change professionals ready to rethink what's possible.
