Preparing for Change

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek – Barack Obama

A simple definition of change is “to cause to be different”. The idea of change management on a personal level has been studied for more than one hundred years. But it is only since the mid- 1980’s that change management has been explored within the context of business applications.

Today’s change management initiatives have become a business discipline, driving bottom-line results through changes in systems and behaviours. Managing change has therefore become a critical skill, both for leadership — and for workers in an organisation.
