Machiavelli wrote in “The Prince” . . .
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things, because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.”
This is what makes change so difficult to make happen. Ken Wallace helps you identify everything that needs to be involved throughout your organization in developing a successful plan for change and a transition management process that ensures a minimum of disruption to the work environment and maximum productivity during the implementation of the change initiative.
It will be helpful to better understand some concepts of change:
Organizational Progress
An individual or organization progresses by effectively managing the process of transitioning from one state of existence to a more desirable one.
Transition is: “The process through which an existing circumstance, condition or relationship (real or imagined) is acted on in a manner that produces a new and different circumstance, condition or relationship.”
Progress is achieved when the “new and different circumstance, condition and/or relationship” is better able to help the individual or organization realize their personal or corporate vision and mission.
