Statement
There are two proverbs that describe the elements of a transformation project very well. "If a person does not know what port she is steering to, no wind is favourable." (Seneca) and "You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore" (Andre Gide). Change management means helping individuals and organisations navigate across uncharted waters with a cool head, a devoted heart, a supporting hand and with a general idea of the destination in mind.
