An interesting concept that has raised its head this week is the idea that some organisations are looking to 'fix' their change - and are turning to the concepts of Sustainable Change as a way of achieving it.
Whilst Sustainable Change does ensure that organisations get the most benefit out of their improvement activities, motivate their people effectively and also ensure they maintain their position in there market, it is different to 'fixing' change in place.
To fix change would imply a rigid system - a winning formula that once developed was never changed. But what would this mean when the circumstances changed and the world, the market or individuals moved on?
Look at McDonalds, for years they had an almost winning formula; Burgers, Beverages & Breakfasts, but over the last few years they have recognised that society has moved on and demands more variety - especially healthier options.
Sustainable Change ensures an organisation remains 'best' for a period of time, but also leaves them with the capability to move on when circumstances change.
So, the idea is not to 'fix things forever', but to fix them and flex them as the requirements change - and this is the basis of Sustainable Change.
By the way - our new book entitled 'A Beginners Guide to Continuous Improvement' is now available.
