ACSEA, the forty year old 2bn USD South East Asian subsidiary of a Japanese pharmaceutical group suffered a blow to its pride in 2003. A competitor which started operations just ten years back now surpassed it in the volume of Pharmaceutical-A produced, and its cost was now 13% lower than ACSEA's. The only hopes of responding effectively lay in the company's South East Asian Technical Centre whose role is to provide technical support to the factories and develop process technologies aimed at cost reduction for the organisation. - 2007 Change Management and Averting Chaos By : Lance Winslow

Leaders who duck accountability by using the technique of plausible deniability or other techniques lose the trust of the very people that they need to follow them.

If a human soul buys into an idea like a faith or religion with a passion, with total commitment, the bounds of what we are collectively capable are quite simply astounding. The last fifteen years of change, downsizing and restructuring have left many employees feeling weary and demoralized. The right way forward is to re-inspire them with the fervour like the great religions. - Adult ADD: Business Has to Include Trust By : Tellman Knudson

When you have ADD, delegation is something you need to work into. You have to decide first, how you can get what you need done in the most economical way.

More than ever before, 2007 will demand of most companies the ability to achieve measurable results that are specific to profitability, growth, cost containment and operational effectiveness.

Without a doubt, success in 2007 will be directly dependent upon both individual and team performance. More importantly however, is the driving force that creates both individual and team effectiveness. That driving force is leadership at every level in the organization. - Being A Smiling Boss By : Sandra Valente

Somebody asked me recently: how come you don’t have a ‘big’ name to project your business and attract people with the grandeur?

The travel metaphor is an old but still useful metaphor to use in change management. Take for instance this viewpoint. - Change at the Speed of Light By : David Molden
There is a general belief that getting people to change their behaviour is difficult and takes a long time. I can understand this belief when there are so many examples of this being the case. Yet I am aware that we like to defend our beliefs and look for evidence to support them. We know that whatever we believe we will seek to make true. TV debating programmes are based upon this principle and it’s what causes so many arguments between people and groups.So what stops people from changing quickly and easily? Is it their deep in-grained habits, or their beliefs? Or perhaps a mix of the two? - Change From Science - Focus on the Stakeholders By : Hans Bool
There are two main directions of change. The first is about resistance, the energy that is spend to keep a change from influencing you, of your organization. The other is the promotion of change. This is exactly the opposite direction. In both cases you need to analyse the stakeholders for understanding why the change is resisted (in the first case) or why it is proposed (the second case). The recent Pluto statement -- about redefining the definition of a planet - - is a typical example of the second case - Change Guided By A Mathematical Formula By : Hans Bool

Why is the issue of change management so serious and why is the buzzword raceing through MBA business schools and business universities across the country? The reason is that a disruption or change in the management of the Corporation or company interrupts the normal flow of business decisions in the firm. Why does this happen? - Change Management and Politics By : Lance Winslow
Each time we throw a scoundrel out of public office we see the problems of disruption in organizational capital and in business we too see this all the time with management turnover, mergers or simply normal attrition. In the Public Sector it can be far worse as one team or staff is not re-elected by their constituents and a team is voted into office - Change Management and the Psychology of Change Considered By : Lance Winslow
Change Management problems at the executive level are fascinating but should never be unexpected. Why you ask?

It looks like General Motors is getting ready to lay off a whole bunch of people in the tens of thousands. Recently Mr. Kirk Kerkorian has been trying to buy up more shares of General Motors and continue to take over the company. It makes sense from his standpoint to buy General Motors stock on the cheap and then repair the mistakes and watch the stock go back up again. He stands to make a tremendous amount of money when General Motors recovers. - Change Management Disruptions of Your Competitors By : Lance Winslow

Change management interruptions can cause chaos in a Corporation and it is this reason that Change Management is discussed in case studies at MBA schools. - Change Management in Government Purchasing By : Lance Winslow
Change Management in Government Purchasing sure causes chaos indeed. In fact we have a whole company under investigation who will be paying 100s of million dollars in fines because it hired a government purchasing agent from the United States Air Force to come work for them and she took the job while she was still working on other military contracts and procurement solicitations which involved the very large Aerospace Company she went to work for. - Change Management in Regulatory Agencies By : Lance Winslow

Change management issues can be just as serious in the private nonprofit sector as they can be in corporate America.

We hear a lot about the new buzzword; change management all throughout the trade journals in almost every industry and every industry sector in corporate America. Seldom do we realize that change management issues do also affect smaller businesses. - Change Management Issues in the Truck Wash Business By : Lance Winslow
In a truck wash business it appears that many managers come and go and this means there is always a turnover problem with employees when a new manager comes into play.

Change management is treated by many as an ethereal topic; a mystical process overlayed with a lot of "magic happens here". Or a process described by one of eight major models of change which by their very nature remains high level.
In my experience, there are four main parameters to be considered to make change happen. - Change Management: Training Is Not Enough By : Kevin Dwyer
It is difficult to find organisations that would say, "We find that training has little impact on our bottom line year on year". - Change Management; When Less is More By : Kevin Dwyer

Change is constant - there is always something changing in our lives. Some changes have more of a life impact than others: changing a hair style, a career path, a vehicle, a marriage.

Changing people's behaviour with regard to safety is a time consuming, difficult business. General training does not have the immediate and emotional rewards of safety training. Changing people's behaviour without those rewards is even more difficult.The lessons that organisations have learnt in making safety training effective are, therefore, all the more instructional for general training. - Changing Organisational Culture Requires a Change in Leadership By : Kevin Dwyer
Changing culture is not so difficult. Culture usually only raises its head as topic when results are not what we want and we provide leadership that allows an unsuitable culture to develop.

One of the most effective ways to improve mental and physical health is rest. People also produce their best results when they are relaxed and comfortable at their workplace.

By : Dr. Gary S. Goodman
Do you remember that brave guy who jumped into the icy Potomac River to save some of the passengers from a plane that slid off the runway into the drink?Without doubt, he was a hero, hurling himself into harm's way as he did.But the greatest threat he faced wasn't the frigid water or the potential of the damaged jet to explode. It came from the very people he was endeavoring to save.As is the unfortunate case so often, drowning people inadvertently drown their would-be saviors, because they're panicking. So, we end up with a tragedy on top of a tragedy.A similar, though less dramatic phenomenon occurs in consulting and coaching, according to Dr. gary S. Goodman, top speaker and best-selling author of 12 books, including SIX-FIGURE CONSULTING (AMACOM). - Coping With Change in Your Workplace - Be Proactive, Not Reactive By : Tino Buntic

I belong to an exclusive club called "Those of us left behind after a suicide'. It's not a nice club to be a member of. You have a double grieving going on, you grieve for their sad life and their death. Unless you have experienced losing someone to suicide you can never understand what it's like. I guess it's like losing a child, unless it has happened to you, you can't really understand the pain and you can't be part of the club. - Corporate Claim Culture - Benefit or Burden? By : Hans Bool
Are you wondering why (utilities) companies are so reserved in providing information? More than once I asked (facing an incident) whether “there has been a problem with the central, or " I always got the answer, “not that we know of, but please tell me your problem." - Corporate Suicide - Getting Bigger Instead Of Better By : Mike Teng
Work on becoming better and guess what, you naturally grow bigger. But pushing for size by itself makes you fatter, not bigger, less specialized and easier to succumb to the vagaries of internal and external forces. Often you lose what made you viable in the first place. A chicken that has wings does not mean it can fly. Similarly the big companies are not necessarily the better ones. - Cost Of Living As A Factor In Business Relocation By : Jonathon Hardcastle
