When change management is overly complex, it fails to gain traction in the organization and is seen more as a hassle than as a tool that delivers value to the organization and the project.

Formula for Change. The formula for change was created by David Gleicher while he was working at Arthur D.
Little in the early 1960s,[1] and refined by Kathie Dannemiller in the 1980s.[2] This formula provides a model to assess the relative strengths affecting the likely success of organisational change programs. Dannemiller version: D x V x F > R[edit] Three factors must be present for meaningful organizational change to take place. These factors are: D = Dissatisfaction with how things are now; V = Vision of what is possible; F = First, concrete steps that can be taken towards the vision; If the product of these three factors is greater than R = Resistance then change is possible. To ensure a successful change it is necessary to use influence and strategic thinking in order to create vision and identify those crucial, early steps towards it.

Adapt Or Die. Do you like the saying, "adapt or die"?
There are days when it is the soundtrack of my life and then there are days when I shake my head at what the connotation truly means. You see, it's easy to be an armchair quarterback and say that the newspaper industry, the music industry, the book publishing industry, the retail industry, a traditional advertising agency... and almost every other industry should adapt or die. We live in interesting times (to steal a turn of phrase from the ancient Chinese curse) but it's not so easy to make the pivot that Eric Ries writes about in his business book, The Lean Startup when you're not a lean startup but a business that's been around the block (and has the scars to prove it).
Instead of shaking your finger at those businesses turn the question on yourself. Do you find it easy to adapt? Your business model is no longer viable. What would you do? It's easy to say, "go digital. Adaptation, disruption and resting on your laurels. This isn't the end.
