<p>"... the authors do offer some important recommendations (Chapter 10). First, those who trumpet the need for ‘transformational’ and ‘disruptive’ change should familiarise themselves with the substantial evidence base against this approach and learn the advantages of what they call ‘accumulative change processes’ — humbler, less radical efforts that aim not to disrupt or destroy the complex infrastructure that forms the fabric of our healthcare organisations."</p><p><strong>Trisha Greenhalgh</strong>, <em>Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, British Journal of General Practice</em></p>
