How does REAL change happen?
All change experts and leaders know this maxim but few companies implement it: Positive change happens when an organization’s leaders have major dissatisfaction with how things are going, see a vision forward, and take aggressive first steps toward the future. As shown in the chart, this effort must be greater than the organization’s resistance to change. Paragon utilizes this principle for every project, so results happen and are sustained.
How we make change happen : From current to future state
Change = (Dissatisfaction X Vision X 1st Steps) > Resistance
