People Get Ready: Change Readiness in Organizations (2012)
Kindle Edition
This early work explores the foundations of organisational change readiness, focusing on the psychological and systemic conditions that enable people to adapt, perform, and thrive through change. Written as a semi‑academic text, it examines why some organisations struggle while others build the internal capacity to respond effectively. People Get Ready represents the first formal articulation of ideas that later evolved into your readiness‑centred frameworks and the Redequip® architecture.
Big Performer: How Change Fitness Improves Performance (2021)
Limited Paperback Edition — Direct from the Author
Big Performer shows that improving organisational performance starts with strengthening people’s capacity for change. As the book notes, “the factors that help people change well make them more flexible and increase their performance capacity whether change is happening or not.” It provides a clear, practical framework for leaders who want to lift performance, reduce resistance, and build internal flexibility — not through more KPIs, but by developing the deeper psychological and environmental capacities that drive sustainable execution. This edition represents the early development of the readiness‑centred thinking that now underpins the Redequip® frameworks. A limited number of paperback copies is available directly from the author.

The Readiness Series A structured trilogy for understanding, diagnosing, and creating the conditions for successful change.
This three‑book series distils two decades of research, consulting, and systems thinking into a clear architecture leaders can use to see readiness, understand the forces that shape behaviour, and design the structural conditions that make change possible. Each book builds on the last — moving from Map, to Mechanism, to Method.
Book 1 - Readiness Centred Change: How Systems Move When Conditions Support Them (The Map)
How to see readiness in action — the patterns, the movement, and the lived experience of change.
This book gives leaders the ability to see what is actually happening during change. It reveals the patterns, the signals, and the dynamics that shape movement long before behaviour becomes visible.
You’ll learn:
how readiness emerges and collapses
the patterns that predict movement
why behaviour is structural, not personal
how to recognise the early signals of change
Ideal for: leaders new to readiness, senior teams wanting clarity, and consultants seeking a shared language.
Book 2 - Readiness Centred Change: Designing the Architecture That Makes Change Possible (The Mechanism)
Coming July 2026.
The structural architecture behind readiness — the six conditions, the forces that shape behaviour, and the physics of movement.
This book reveals the internal structure of readiness. It explains the six conditions that shape human behaviour, how they interact, and why change succeeds or fails depending on the environment leaders create.
You’ll learn:
the six structural conditions that drive behaviour
how clarity, capability, load, identity, ecology, and alignment interact
why people don’t resist change — they resist conditions
how to diagnose the real causes of hesitation
Ideal for: senior leaders, organisational designers, and practitioners who want to understand the deep architecture of behaviour.
Book 3 - Readiness Centred Change: Practising the Discipline That Makes Change Possible (The Method)
Coming October 2026.
The practical discipline for designing conditions, building capability, and creating readiness at scale.
This book turns the architecture into practice. It provides the tools, methods, diagnostics, and pathways leaders need to design the structural environment that enables movement.
You’ll learn:
how to design conditions for successful change
how to build capability across teams and systems
how to use diagnostics to identify structural gaps
how to create readiness pathways for real organisational contexts
Ideal for: consultants, OD practitioners, and leaders responsible for large‑scale change.
Additional Titles
The Architecture of Coherence
Coming Soon.
Every organisation lives inside an invisible architecture — a structure that shapes how people make sense, decide, act, and adapt. The Architecture of Coherence makes that structure visible. Through clear exposition and grounded real‑world vignettes, it shows how leaders can recognise distortions, restore clarity, and hold coherence lightly enough for it to evolve. A calm, practical guide for leaders navigating complexity.
Ideal for: consultants, OD practitioners, and leaders responsible for large‑scale change.
