"When the rate of change outside the organization is faster than the rate of change inside the organization, the organization is in trouble."
Jack Welch

Meeting the needs of your customers will be a different process tomorrow than it is today. Recruiting employees will require a different approach as the Generation shift in the marketplace continues. Training and retaining your current work force will demand a new bag of tricks. Creative product design. Innovative problem solving. Responsible corporate citizenship. World-wide competition. Change is your future.

No matter what your business is or where you do it, change isn't optional! Chris Clarke-Epstein, CSP believes that you and your organization need to develop your change skills if you want to take control of your future. This section of Change101.com is designed to help you do just that. You'll find questions to jump start your thinking, books to add to your bookshelf, and a survey that will track current thinking about organizational change.  Come back and visit often; we love to change things.
