Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future

Every successful organisation…

Every successful organisation has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how people work together since the agricultural revolution

Change…

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots

– Victor Hugo

An organisation’s…

An organisation’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage

– Jack Welch

However…

However beautiful the strategy you should occasionally look at the results

– Winston Spencer Churchill

Organisational structures…

Organisational structures that allow divisions and departments to own their turf and people with long tenure to take root, create group distinctions which makes it easier to resist compromise and prevent collaboration

Nobody can…

Nobody can force change on anybody else. It has to be experienced. Unless we invent ways by which paradigm shifts can be experienced by large numbers of people then change will remain a myth

As for…

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it

To exist…

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly

We would…

We would rather be ruined than changed,
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.

– W. H. Auden
