The HERO Transformation Playbook, reviewed

Review of The HERO Transformation Playbook, available here.

The HERO Transformation Playbook guides you through a proven, evidence-based framework that will reduce the risk of transformation failure. Based on 20 years of continuous work with clients on large scale transformation efforts, we’ve developed the HERO framework for enterprise transformations that work. It’s based on one simple principle that is easy to understand but harder to put in practice: value must be the focus at every step.

If you’re not careful you might miss what HERO actually means, hint go to page 9 for the definition. The book is big, bold, colourful and visual, all of which is good, but equally it comes on slightly full on, for the introduction. It begins to feel like you have walked into a world of powerpoint presentations, and you begin to wonder if it will ever end and if there will be any text to read, or if it will all be big font declarations. Luckily after awhile it does settle down to some actual text to digest as well as the visual pyrotechnics.

They do talk about blockers, which are a valid and legitimate issue, but sometimes just because you can name them, it does not actually mean you can solve them by describing them. In terms of good points this is colourful, loud and brash, but in a good way. This might be the optimal way to deal with these problems if you are a visual person.

About The Authors

Authors Arif Harbott and Cuan Mulligan have developed the definitive transformation playbook for any CEO, CIO, or transformation leader who is ready to confront the hard truths of what it really takes to change an organisation for the better.

They are practitioners. Originally conceived as a handbook for the authors to train leaders and teams, this is not a high-level business book that casts a philosophical eye over the ‘why’ of change.

The HERO Transformation Playbook is designed by practitioners with decades of real world results and reveals a strictly evidence-based framework and step-by-step methodology, distilling what has truly worked into strategies and practices to follow and implement.
