The Change Fit


How to Spot Your Change Champions? The increasing speed, velocity, as well as the fast pace of technological advances have clearly impacted the nature and scope of opportunity as well as the risk involved. When you stop changing, you've already lost. A changeable organization is to creating organizations where change is the norm and happens the whole time. Change the game is a mindset, people are always the center of changes. Change Agent has the ability to play the right role and know which to play, and when. To expedite change, "put the right people in the right positions to lead change seamlessly,” needs to become the mantra. But can you spot change champions and empower change agents in order to develop the culture of change and build change as the business competency?


The New Book “Digital Fit: Manifest Future of Business with Multidimensional Fit” Chapter 3 Introduction: Change Fit Closer to reality is that change is continuously happening in the dynamic environment of a company. Change is inevitable, and the speed of change is accelerating. The desires of stakeholders, clients, and employees are evolving naturally. However, changeability and resourcefulness - the response to change are woefully underrated by many businesses as keys to success. How do you assess an organization that is ready for change? How can you engage with today’s management and make them change themselves into the role needed today for modern Change Management? What is needed to be done in order to execute a successful change? And what are the further aspects of managing change successfully?


Change Habit: Do you Have One? Change, big or small is inevitable. You can’t step into the same river twice, meaning that everything is always in a state of flow with increasing speed. Change is becoming the new normal, people present different personalities for changes, such as Pathfinder, Listener, Organizer, Follower, and Resistor. Are change agents born or created? In order to improve changeability, it is important to build a healthy change habit. We all know how challenging would be to change a bad habit and cultivate a good habit. It takes practices, disciplines, and persistence. Change is not for its own sake, but for improvement and advancement. So, change habit: Do you have one?

Can you “Move out of your Comfort Zone” Change is the new normal. Change is situational. It happens when something starts or stops, or when something that used to happen in one way starts happening in another. But acceptance of change is transitional, and “moving out of your comfort zone" can be used at all levels and as a starting point for change. It might sound like a cliche, the trick is understanding that moving out of a comfort zone leads to the creation of a new comfort zone which in turn will require you to move out "of" it again. This continuous moving "out" of your comfort zone is complemented by the cycle of self-development. There is a classic fable about a lion and a gazelle to analogize such a "surviving and thriving cycles": The lion wakes up and starts running otherwise it will not catch lunch. The gazelle does the same but, in this case, to avoid becoming lunch. Either way, you have to move to survive. This principle can be applied in a physical sense as well. The human body is designed for motion and physical effort.

Cultivate Healthy Habits to Adapt to Changes Change - big or small is inevitable. You can’t step into the same river twice, meaning that everything is always in a state of flow with increasing speed. Change agents are the leaders, change champions, change specialists, team players who orchestrate and collaborate to accomplish the desired changes and transformations. The change agent is not a title, but the game-changing mindset and the fine-tuned skillsets. More specifically, how to cultivate healthy habits to adapt to changes?
