One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of [changing], and that's your own self.

Different views on change
![Page 11: Change Management & the Role of Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042606/547a42945806b567048b4857/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A few things everyone agrees on
1. There is a beginning and an end
2. Place in the middle is very hard
3. It is always much harder & much slower than you think
4. Cannot be done without a burning platform
5. Two-way communication is critical
6. Leadership support is critical
7. A (good) part of change management is: just getting used to
it!
8. (Individual) transition is different from change
9. The initiative will probably fail anyway

IME*1. Each type of change requires a different
approach
RIF
Process or
System
Program Outsourcing
M&A
* In my experience (IME), which is difference from “in my opinion” (IMO), because O may or may not follow E; and is
very different from IMHO (mostly because there is nothing H about my O)

IME 2. The more benign the change, the more
work it seems to require!
