Nightmare On Change Street - Why It Doesn't Have to Be This Way

Add bookmark

Rapid technological innovation and an uncertain economic climate means that neither businesses nor individuals can afford to stand still. But like anyone who has tried to stick to a fitness regime can testify…change isn’t easy. Especially when it involves changing the behaviour of other people.

In this Process Perspectives interview, Dr. Robert Swaim – an expert in the theories of Dr. Peter F. Drucker - joins the program to offer advice and perspectives on how to manage change, explains how companies are having to contend with more rapid change than at any other point in history, discusses why people find change so difficult and give the early warning signals that a change effort is about to go off the rail.

Editor's Note: This podcast is based on Dr. Swaim's recent four-part series on managing change.
