One Thing That Will Remain
the Same: Change Will Continue to Occur
As it’s
been said, “The future’s not what it used to be.”
We experience change everyday. In business, in our communities,
in our homes, in our churches. Often change has a bad rap. We are
creatures of comfort and don’t mind things staying the same for a
while so we can enjoy the good times, enjoy a rest, not have to think
about it.
Competitiveness Requires
Improvement
But we live
in a competitive world. Commerce is now global and for us to succeed we
must be able to compete with, better exceed, our competition in
providing products and services to our global markets.
A
competitive world is a changing world. New products, new services, new
attractions to the customers to improve market share and profitability.
To complete
we must improve. To improve we must change. To change we must start
doing something new, and stop what we have been doing that doesn’t
help anymore.
One way to
think about this has us deliberately substituting “improvement” for
“change” at every chance. When we can operationalize improvement
(change), when we can improve first and faster that our competitors,
then we are acting proactively to secure our future.
