I hope no-one minds my continual updating of my reading lists, but this book strikes me as being essential to implementing change within the military, or any group.

Diffusion of Innovations, Fifth Edition by Everett M. Rogers is, so far, a terrific book. I've read through chapter 1 and am impressed. It explores why certain people and groups adopt innovation, and why certain people and groups do not. It frames innovation in both technology and systems as a social, not a technical issue.

I reiterate, a very, very good read.
