Managing change across time

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

If you read once in a while this chaotic website of mine, you know that I wrote here and there about change management.

I would like to share here some experience from my activities, and why I believe that adopting a common framework might be sub-optimal, but a smart allocation of resources.

To summarize:

  1. change is a constant (”panta rei”)
  2. change is made of “here and now” activities, and their antecedents and consequences
  3. if you can, do not re-invent the wheel- use an existing one…
  4. …and see how to make it fit in your environment
  5. and drop that “not invented here” attitude: you are wasting resources
  6. last but not least: ask yourself- who will keep the memory of the choices made
