Blog Stuck On You

We are awash in change. It’s everywhere you look. The rate of change we have experienced over the last 100 years is absolutely unprecedented.

As long as people were around, no one could travel faster than we – or our horses – could run. Then all of a sudden we are zipping around in planes, and our messages ride the airwaves at the speed of sound.

Far from slowing down, the rate of change is actually speeding up even faster. Consider how quickly we adopt new technology these days. Faxes took two decades; DVDs knocked out VHS almost overnight. Change is clearly in the air.

Surprisingly though, most organizations don’t seem to be getting any better at it. Thirty years ago, about 80% of all change initiatives ended in failure. Today, that figure is about… uh… 80%.

But today, the 80% failure rate is being felt.

How can an organization survive in an environment of constant, rapid, and increasing change if they fail at 80% of the change they attempt?

The answer is they can’t… and they aren’t.

It may be messy, but it’s nature’s way. If you don’t adapt, you die out – making room for those that do it better.

The same is happening in business today. Have you noticed that more and more business organizations are disappearing these days? Merged, purged, or on the verge? Organizations today are paying a heavy toll for their inability to change.

Depressing? Looking for an upside? Well… It doesn’t have to be this way.

Humans are the most changeable, adaptable species ever to walk the Earth, and we don’t like to go down without a fight. Unlike other animals, we try to figure out what’s going on and work out solutions. It’s what makes us human.

And when it comes to corporate change, some of us have figured it out. For these lucky few, change is more a science than an art. They use proven approaches that give them consistently positive results.
