CHANGE

This is the second natural force needed for business success. It is a necessity. it is that which can invole a paradigm shift. For without change there would be no progress; adapting to change is essential for survival; Change is no enemy and it must be anticipated in every organisation. change which is often called the only constant thing in life takes us out of our comfort zones and away from the safe and familiar. It is not only that, change creates a new sometimes strange way of doing things and forces us into a process that we may know nothing about or with which we have very little experience.

In other words, change may invove a paradigm shift. A paradigm as a set of rules and regulations (written or unwritten) that does two things
- establishes or defines boundaries
- tells us how to behave within the boundaries in order to be a success.
While success is measured by the problems you solve using the rules and regulations. Hence a paradigm becomes the lens through which we see the world.

Paradigm shifts are distinct form of change in that they have the potential to alter the natural order of things. It should therefore be anticipated that change is one constant, patient and anticipated Natural force that is constantly eroding the status quo in organisations. You can resist it but you will be fighting a losing battle.
