Year after year, the list of companies that no longer exist because they were unable to evolve continues to grow. It includes such names as Blockbuster, Borders, Kodak, Polaroid, Neckerman, Schlecker etc. And companies such as B&O, Nokia, RIM, Hewlett Packard, Dell etc. are struggling with disruptive change.
Increasing competition, globalization, technological changes, financial upheaval, political uncertainty, changing workforce demographics, and other factors are forcing organizations to change faster. No wonder that driving and managing change will remain the number one priority for leaders.
