Bringing about significant change in the way an organization works is a tremendous challenge. When change hits, a caution flag goes up. Just like NASCAR, caution flag slows down time (as in people buy time). The unfortunate thing is - change wont wait on people. More so in today’s world where everything is fast - the competetion, markets, technology advances, food. The world wants everything instant, picking up the pace a little will not work. Good goes to bad in a jiffy, and to worse before you can rectify it.

Change happens, it cannot be managed. An organization best chance is to accelerate change, and to mould a culture of quick reflexes. Infuse speed and responsiveness into the way things get done, get rid of bureaucracy, break down the walls that lowers productivity. Ensure communications flows freely and swiftly. Create lean and nimble organizations. Speeding up things, and change, protects us better in this high velocity world.
