0601 – Adapting to Change
Updated: November 12, 2009
A General Insight About the Workplace
Change is an unavoidable part of doing business. Every time someone in your industry develops a new strategy, new product, or new technology, your organization needs to match it simply to stay competitive. Organizational and industry change is inevitable, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with it.
David Baxter, economist and futurist, recommends in-depth consideration of your company values so that you can adapt a strategy for handling change that will allow for the managed growth of your organization. Remember that there is no risk-free strategy for dealing with change; each approach has different risks but also has different benefits.
