“Change is inevitable” ... or so the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, is often quoted as having said. When we talk about business, the ability to adapt to changing markets is essential. Even more important is our ability to see change coming and react quickly enough to survive in today’s fiercely competitive business world.
Organisations that survive are those that are adaptable to either minor shifts in trends, or huge changes in the economy. These may not necessarily be changes to our principles or missions, but they may very well be practical changes in the way we func- tion in the Knowledge Economy of the 21st century.
