Increasing globalization, new technologies, and the updating of competencies have considerably impacted the workplace. Major change requires staff to adapt quickly to new situations. It is in this context that the book Professional Accompaniment Model for Change. For Innovative Leadership is a valuable reference tool for reflection, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of a professional change accompaniment process. This process facilitates the updating of practices and the development of professional competencies required to accompany the change. The competencies are fully described in the book Professional Competencies for Accompanying Change. A Frame of Reference, which complements the model.

The model is the result of an accompaniment-research-training project carried out in the field of education. However, the results and consequences of the project to update professional practices will be an inspiration to all individuals, groups, institutions, organizations, and companies wishing to implement directed changes, or changes that include prescriptive elements.
