What's Included 

If the pandemic taught us anything, it is that we can be deeply impacted by unexpected change at any time. Organizations became innovative fast with new employee protocols, business strategies and business models. In many ways we are still rebounding and now is a time when organizations can be proactive about the changes they wish to make.

If your business is in a period of change, either thrust upon you or one you are about to implement, understanding the extent of the change is fundamental to planning. Will this change create an interruption to your business or a disruption? How do you know and why does it matter? Your response and planning will be different depending on whether the change has low or high impact, is short or long term. How you respond could provide you with innovative solutions as well as a strategic advantage.
