Change management and agility

People and organizations are recognizing that how they manage change has a direct bearing on their success in the marketplace. This success, coupled with the increasing pace of change, is creating a desire to:

• build the ability to change quickly
• increase the capacity for change
• minimize the risks of change

The way high-performing organizations operate today is radically different from how they operated 10 years ago. Yet many other organizations continue to operate according to industrial age models that are 100 years old or more, weighed down by legacy practices, systems, and behaviors that must be confronted and discarded before true change can take place.
