The scale and scope of social, political and economic change means that individuals can no longer rely on their lives following a predictable pattern. We need the skills to conceptualize what is happening, predict future changes, develop personal strategies and adapt to new technologies, pressures and opportunities.

This definition of change is particularly important for those planning change in commercial organizations. Current thinking in relation to a firm's competitive strength indicates that a coherent and tested definition of what real value the company provides (and intends to provide) is at the heart of success when it can be provided within budget.

Accordingly, change programs need to be coordinated toward:

  • Understanding the potential sources of competitive advantage.
  • Identifying what value the firm provides at the present time.
  • Identifying the potential added value which the firm could provide.
  • Understanding the real drivers of costs within the firm.
  • Developing a coherent competitive strategy.
  • Communicating the elements of the competitive strategy to all concerned.
  • Nourishing the change processes necessary to refine and implement the chosen competitive strategy.
  • Continuously questioning and redeveloping the strategic intent of the firm within a context of environmental change.
