Overview

Successful HR interventions need to be focused and fit for purpose. The Changemaker Effect offers a science-based and integrated people-management system that links organisation design, job evaluation, talent management, development and reward to unleash unstoppable growth for your business. Based on a measure of an individual’s ‘complexipacity’ — their capacity to handle complexity over their lifetime — this method has the ability to revolutionise the ways we invest in our human capital. Read this book to: • Build resilient, resourceful organisations that withstand unforeseen crises and market changes, and are able to pivot quickly • Identify, deploy and champion changemakers and understand why it is critical to do so • Master the art of complexipacity and be able to apply a transformative, bias-free lens to your team • Learn how to eliminate the need for performance management

Reviews

'Jo's book could not come at a better time given the seemingly neverending challenges posed to leaders in our volatile and uncertain world. I have experienced the complexipacity assessment personally and can testify to its empowering impact. It equips you with a very different and powerful lens with which to view and mobilise human capital. Jo's book takes you through the various steps and allows us to make better judgements about who will make the best leaders now, but more importantly who will in the future. And as you do you will learn about and develop your own capabilities too. - Peter Duff, Chairman of Shoosmiths 'Human capital assessment of the team has been a difficult art to administer for all investors. Augmenting this art of assessment with the science described in The Changemaker Effect is a real game-changer. We can align as investors with the right leadership dynamic from the beginning. - Scott Lanphere, Chairman of Omnio Holdings SA and TLNT Holdings SA, Managing Director of AEDC Capital Ltd and Eton Gate Capital Partners Ltd 'Jo's theory of our capacity to handle complexity ( complexipacity ) is certainly one that has worked every single time in my experience and I am delighted that she has outlined it in her book. The more volatile and uncertain the environment the more important complexipacity becomes and it couldn't be any more appropriate given the unprecedented times we currently find ourselves in. The survival of the fittest will certainly not be accidental. This is also one of the few human capital interventions to have passed the scrutiny of the South African Employment Equity Act which requires tools that can be proven and evidenced to eliminate unfair discrimination and support inclusivity and diversity.' - Alex Didymiotis, Group HR Director of TFG Brands (London) Ltd 'The Changemaker Effect describes a genuinely creditable potential alternative for long, difficult and ultimately unsuccessful performance management processes that businesses are now forced to use when talent is placed in the wrong place in their organisations.' - Phil Crowe, Partner at Shoosmiths 'I have experienced this work and seen its impact first-hand and since then it has been impossible to see things any other way. Balancing stable customer-facing teams with changemaking leadership teams is the key to achieving the effect Jo describes in this book. Providing wise, patient and forgiving support to emerging talent is something I particularly enjoy and something that is vital if they are to achieve their full potential.' - Peter Riordan, Managing Director of Wise Old Dog Ltd 'The proprietary methodology that Jo has developed and made available to readers of this book will transform your thinking on people management. I've been using The Changemaker Effect tools for 5+ years working with technology entrepreneurs and it's provided me with the core principles by which to set up companies for rapid growth. I can't live without it now and nor should you.' - Mel Reece, Managing Director of Havoc and Harmony 'This book outlines a model that provides insights and answers, as well as explaining so many career experiences to date. It is rational and compelling and provides a framework that any organisation can benefit from if they are truly open to being challenged to achieve better outcomes.' - Paul Devereux, Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer at Cataliize
