Top Change Management Keynote Speakers for Turbulent Times

Most people have probably heard the saying “may you live in interesting times” bandied about in the past few years. The expression is claimed by many to be a traditional Chinese curse, but all evidence points to his being erroneous, with the phrase first appearing in late nineteenth century England. Whatever the genesis of the saying, business and lay people alike can agree that they’d rather live in an uneventful, stable era; unfortunately, neither of those words are applicable to the current state of the world,  which is characterized by violent shifts from high to low, political shakeups and economic brouhahas.

 

It’s one thing for an organization to survive change, and quite another for it to truly manage it.
