As a business leader, to succeed, it's important to think of change management as an ongoing, not occasional, activity that should be ingrained in any enterprise from day one.
Anita's insight:
How can we as management executives and leaders possibly stay ahead of the curve in a world, and commercial marketplace, that moves this quickly? 
Katrine Maguire, MBA, PMP's comment,
February 5, 11:25 AM
We have to understand the change and pick where we jump onto the curve. We don't have to be on top of every change that occurs, but can pick where to join in the change. When we choose, we also choose whether to stay on the curve or to create our own vector for the change. I think that is why it feels like things are moving quickly. There isn't always one curve.

We like to think that success comes from predicting trends, analyzing data, gaming out strategies — from using some sort of logical approach. But if it was that simple we should have solved the mystery of success long time ago — and we haven't. Instead serendipity is what sets us apart — since that is the only way we can discover an approach that is not obvious or logical. Delete the scoop?
