Real change happens best by choice,
compulsion leads to resistance.

People can be enormously creative in resisting and disrupting unwanted change.

Commonly change in business is mediated by some form of compulsion (whether mild or severe).

Compulsion acts from the outside to push people into action : it is an extrinsic motivator.

Factors which stimulate people into action for themselves, intrinsic motivators, are often forgotten

Change is the only constant in business today. The are few, if any, organisations that have not undergone significant change in the last five years. Many have experienced radical change. Most anticipate more change in the future.

The drive for change can emerge from a number of sources including response to :
∙ changes in the business environment
∙ identification of new opportunities
∙ a need to improve performance.

The need for change can be imperative especially for organisations faced with the choice of making radical changes or going under.

There is however a parallel need to maintain the smooth, predicable, day-to-day running of the business. Indeed it is often only through careful financial management that the resources for the change programme can be generated.
