In the business literature tradition of Fish, Zapp and Who Moved my Cheese, Alice in Changeland is an allegory, a fictional tale with a message. Drawing on the paradoxical world of Alice in Wonderland, it tells of the trials and tribulations faced by a ‘change agent’ Alice in her journey across Changeland. It is useful for practicing managers and students as light reflection on the ambiguities, dilemmas and paradoxes that change managers face. Further illustration, argument and case study material can be obtained from the author.
