Change is constant and omnipresent. This book about the Z-Model of Change® provides insights into how change truly works. Starting from an individual perspective, it draws parallels to business, exploring the interaction between individuals and their environments and the tensions arising from environmental changes. This scientifically proven model is successfully used in altering organizational strategies, cultures, and behaviors, and is effective in coaching.

The Z-Model of Change® was developed by Martijn de Zoete, drawing on cybernetics principles, the science of communication and control in humans and machines. This model, a form of systems thinking, defines systems as a subjectively selected collection of variables, adaptable to various contexts such as a lamp's functioning.

In organizational settings, the Z-Model of Change® applies this concept across several components: the perceived environment (market and future), current desired and undesired behaviors, future desired behaviors, evolutionary behavior patterns, verbal and internal behavior expressing knowledge, identity, and values, and goals with corresponding strategies. These elements collectively offer profound insights into organizational behavior and change.
