Globalization and digitalization of exchanges are realities that impact almost all businesses.<br>Faced with this complexity, it is important to know how to evolve before crises arise. It is when everything is going well that change is needed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing how to manage transformation, define it, nurture it, and provide companies with the tools they need to build the challenges of tomorrow is a necessity.<br>Being able to transform management to instill the codes essential for agility in this highly mobile world is a condition for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One cannot exist without the other, and the whole must be built around a few key questions and ideas, among which we highlight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> why do we want\/need to change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> change should not make the company lose its DNA. What do we want to change, yes? But what do we also want to preserve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Balance:<\/strong> when change is necessary, being able to implement it while respecting the principle of balance: between before and after, between acceleration and observation, between leading and supporting, between performance and enjoyment, between professional and personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Co-construction:<\/strong> the era of \u201cco\u201d is underway. The balance of transition, of transformation, the meaning of the process, will be much stronger if shared by all. Team empowerment will be easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Responsibility:<\/strong> learning to embrace change instead of complaining about it can result from all the above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grant Alexander was at the Management Fair on November 13 and 14, 2018.
