'Gabrielle O Donovan's Making Organizational Change Stick: How to Create a Culture of Partnership between Project and Change Management, which came out in December, is my book of the year. Gabrielle is a wonderful author, she writes with real authority, in a style that is easy to read; she mixes practical advice with theory and examples. This is a rich and convincing book that tackles what is now a fundamental requirement for all project managers.' - Jonathan Norman, Knowledge Hub Manager at The Major Projects Association, UK. 'Gabrielle's work makes a case for establishing a productive partnership between the professions of Change Management and Project Management. Gabrielle's work extends existing ideas within cultural theory to develop new and heightened understanding of the impact of culture in projects. More critically, she is able to utilise such models to surface ideas regarding the common culture needed to underpin the integrated perspective of change and projects. She is also able to offer specific mechanisms for developing the joint culture through shared artefacts, life cycles and perspectives that can enrich both disciplines. Following the proposals made in the work can enrich the development and management perspectives and offer the common ground needed to build a supportive new culture capable of supporting new understanding and insights.' - Prof. Darren Dalcher, Director, National Centre for Project Management, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, Editor, Advances in Project Management
