Biography

Nicola Busby is an experienced business change manager specialising in cultural and behavioural change in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Her recent clients include Penguin Random House, The Financial Ombudsman Service, The Houses of Parliament and the National Childbirth Trust. Authored Chapter 7, Change Readiness, Planning and Measurement, in The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook.

"Nicola Busby captures the work and process of supporting a change initiative in a lively, practical and down-to earth way. She describes how different phases of change can be approached, giving clear examples and illustrations. I particularly liked the human reality checks embedded in her descriptions of "this is how it actually feels to help change happen". I expect that this book will prove a good friend to many business change managers." — Richard Smith, business change practitioner and lead author of The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook.
