How to make change work for you

Continuous change implies continuous learning. Instead of trying to follow the pace, you need to find ways to set the pace. Here’s how.

If you believe the pace of change will slow down at some point, you’re dreaming. We live in a world where change is constant, and the only person who can make the pace slow down is you. By making change work for you and not vice versa.

Stay ahead

If you would have been ahead of change and ensure change works for you, a full-blown transformation is not needed. You’re ahead of the curve, and your team or organization is adjusting continuously.

But that’s not the reality for most. Most of us are inward-focused and lagging. Our priorities are focused on today, if we’re lucky tomorrow. What’s urgent almost always trumps what’s important.

Our revenues get under pressure, and the bottom line starts to suffer.

We know we need to do something but lack the vision or the means to invest in our business overhaul. We start changing things on the surface, and we call it transformation. That’s how transformation becomes a buzzword.
