The change handbook: the definitive … – Google Books.

This is a chapter on Real Time Strategic change, a change method to use when

  1. Multiple Stakeholders have competing needs,
  2. Aligned action is required
  3. Results need to be achieved in radically reduced time frames.

(p. 275, The change handbook, “Real Time Strategic Change.”)

This is a really important methodology, and highly useful whether you are working in sustainability or other change efforts in your organization.

How to Change Bad Habits – Improvisations – MIT Sloan Management Review.

This article summarizes some insights first discussed in the book “Influencer: the power to change anything.”  They say that the following principles will help habits change in a workplace.  It is a nice list to read in comparison with the Oprah’s article on neuroscience and habit change.

Here are the principles they identify:

1. Linking to mission and values
2. Overinvesting in skill building
3. Harnessing peer pressure
4. Creating social support
5. Aligning rewards and ensuring accountability
6. Changing the environment
