    What you’ll learn to do: Discuss various ways change has succeeded and failed in contemporary examples and organizations

    We’ve said repeatedly that change is perhaps the only constant that a business can count on. That said, the change management techniques we’ve talked about have all been in response to change.

Then, we’re going to take a look at some of the prophylactic measures businesses use to prepare themselves for the changes being thrown at them in today’s environment.
