You have to read this white paper on change. It is exactly what I have been talking about for the last 20 years as companies go through evolution and economic change. some do and some don't. The ones that don't will not be a company you should either invest in or work for.
Change is permanent – it does not matter what industry you may be in, how large your enterprise, or your organizational structure. Globalization, technology advances, complex multinational organizations and more frequent partnering across national borders and company boundaries – these are just a few of the enablers and accelerators of change.
How would you rate your organization when it comes to executing change? Most CEO's consider themselves and their organizations to be executing change poorly, yet a few outperformers do excel at delivering and benefiting from meaningful change. You need to become an outperformer to learn to manage change well, so you can get ahead of, and even be the driver of change. To accomplish this, you will need to abandon outdated notions of change. You no longer have the luxury of expecting day-to-day operations to fall into a static or predictable pattern that is interrupted occasionally by short bursts of change.
Where do you see your enterprise in the next few years? Leading your competition in growth and revenue? Developing a highly new innovative product or service? Re-inventing and redefining your industry? Or will your organization remain static, struggling to keep up with your competitors, and staying afloat?
For its very survival, the Enterprise of the Future must better prepare itself as the pace, variety and pervasiveness of change continue to increase. Discover how to become a "student of change" in a world of total flux.
