Why
Do Need To
Anticipate Change?
Change represents an opportunity for your
business and it must be anticipated and prepared for. Foresight and change
anticipation is a hallmark of
effective leaders.
Technology,
radical innovations,
new business models, globalization,
demography, consumer demands and choices all contribute to making today’s
new economy
one of accelerating change. The drivers of change are numerous and
complex, and their impact varies from one sector to another.
The way change
affects your company depends largely on the capacity of key actors to
anticipate and prepare for such an eventuality. Existing
business
models and
strategies may be threatened by changing circumstances. Adapting too late or
too little can result in disaster for your business. If you wish to avoid a
long and painful adaptation process you must improve your capacity to
anticipate and prepare for future change at the earliest interval.
In
today’s rapidly-changing economic climate, your company will have a
competitive advantage if you succeed in
integrating change into your business
strategy effectively. Using foresight and anticipation to envisage
possible future scenarios is the first step in preparing for change and
managing it successfully.
Entrepreneurial
Leader: 4 Attributes
There is big difference between anticipating
and guessing. Anticipation means expecting, being aware of something in
advance, to regard it as possible. The ability to anticipate is one of the
key ingredients of efficient speed and
change management. "Being able to anticipate that which is likely to
occur in the next few months and the next few years is enough to give you an
edge over 99% of the population who simply go along with whatever happens".1
