In today's business climate of rapidly evolving technologies and new business paradigms, we draw a useful distinction between change and transition. Change is situational—new areas of customer demand, a new location, a new technology, a new policy. Transition is the process organizations and people go through in response to change.

To manage the transition process effectively, the leadership challenge lies first in distinguishing between evolutionary change that grows naturally out of existing conditions, and revolutionary change that imposes entirely new conditions—often in disruptive ways. Each type of change calls for a different transition strategy, which must be designed and implemented in recognition of the organization's true resources, abilities, limitations, processes, values, vision, and culture.

As an integral part of our decision support services, we offer clients a way to recognize various kinds of change and manage appropriate organizational responses to the challenges and opportunities that arise from each.
