Reviews

 ‘Giorgia’s Master The Change Maze is a powerful guide for navigating the human complexities of transformation. She reminds us that successful change goes far beyond strategy and structure— it’s emotional, cultural and deeply personal. Her insights into leadership blind spots, resistance and communication gaps are essential for anyone leading change. Giorgia delivers a compelling case for empathy, adaptability and resilience as the real drivers of sustainable transformation. A must-read for today’s leaders navigating constant evolution.’ — Richard Letzelter, CHRO, Acino Pharma ‘Blending mindful awareness with robust research and real-world examples, this invaluable guide provides a data-driven pathway to organisational transformation that resonates at every level, from the executive suite to the frontline. Through a balanced mix of pragmatic tools and people-centric insights, readers can seamlessly navigate the journey from strategic vision to sustainable outcomes. By adopting a calm, measured approach and mitigating resistance, leaders embed resilience and shared purpose within their organisations. This powerful resource ensures businesses remain agile, focused and aligned in times of change. In essence, it’s a blueprint for cultivating the capacity for unstoppable transformation in a rapidly shifting landscape.’ — Simon Young, Data Engineering Director, BT ‘Easy-read, full of practical tips and insights. This book is a lot more than a “managing change guidebook”, it encompasses elements of psychology, behaviours and case studies, and gets you to think about how you approach change. ‘What I love the most is that it is centred around the individuals. ‘In a nutshell, a practical guide to help you become a better manager and a change agent. ‘A must read!’ — Valerie Nizard, VP Global Human Resources/CHRO ‘Master The Change Maze resonated with the challenges I face at work. The content is insightful and practical, offering strategies that I can directly apply to improve my contributions during organisational change. The real-world examples are particularly valuable. They provide illustrations of successful and unsuccessful change management in action, bridging the gap between theory and practice and making the concepts more relatable and actionable. This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to effectively navigate and influence change within their workplace.’ — Claire Barker, Product Information Director, Global Technology company ‘Master The Change Maze is a rare gem that bridges the gap between behavioural science and practical leadership. Giorgia Prestento offers a compelling, evidence-based roadmap for navigating the emotional and cognitive complexities of change. A must-read for leaders who want to drive transformation with empathy, clarity and measurable impact.’ — Dario Krpan, PhD, Associate Professor in Behavioural Science, London School of Economics and Political Science ‘In Master The Change Maze, Giorgia provides an objective view and a pragmatic approach to change in complex, confusing and chaotic environments. As a specialist M&A technology advisor, it is evident that change is inevitable and constant, even when you are not aware of it or expecting it. The book highlights the diverse areas of impact; what to consider, potential gotchas, human dynamics, ownership and how to navigate all of that to ensure change is effective and deliver successful strategic outcomes. Even if the change isn’t always easy, clean or according to expectation and plan.’ — Jaco Vermeulen, CTO at BML (specialist M&A Technology Advisory firm) ‘Master The Change Maze is a compelling and practical guide for navigating change. Georgia blends strategic insight with real-world examples, making complex concepts accessible and actionable. Her emphasis on leadership, agility and innovation equips readers with tools to drive meaningful change in today’s fast-paced business environment. The book’s clear structure and engaging style make it suitable for both seasoned executives and emerging leaders. What sets it apart is Giorgia’s authentic voice and deep understanding of human dynamics in transformation. Whether you’re initiating change or managing it, this book offers a roadmap to sustainable success and resilient growth.’ — Raphael Fainac, CTO Apleona International
