Strategic Turnaround
Story of a Government Agency
by Dakuku Adol Peterside
Strategic Turnaround is more than a case study of transformational change in an African maritime administration. It is a roadmap for putting agency back into your government department, a go-to guide for reinvigorating your energy-sapped public servants, and a speak-easy description of how to overcome those structural influences of culture and bureaucracy that knee-cap many a change effort.This book is a must-read for those [having to walk the tightrope of balancing the public's expectations against the public's purse when] attempting to restore confidence in an under-performing public service. Armed with Dr. Peterside's inspirational book, you too will succeed in bringing about transformational change in your government agency.
Review
"Strategic Turnaround is the definitive case study of the radical
reform of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency
(NIMASA), and of the entire maritime sector in Nigeria. But this story
of how strategic change was initiated, instigated and successfully
managed has relevance far outside Nigeria. Given Nigeria's size and
NIMASA's importance, it is a key case study in successful high-level
change management, and also an essential insight into the maritime
sector of an emerging maritime power."
