“The only constant is change.” – Herakleitos of Ephesus (c.535 BC – 475 BC)
Change will most assuredly overtake every organization. Even the most efficient and effective organizations are subject to changes in policy, technology, environment, and markets.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882)
Organizations that successfully evolve in the face of chage do so by leveraging every tool and resource available to the organization – values, culture, systems, processes, and communications.
“A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation.” – Andy Grove, Founder of Intel Corp.
