TOUCHSTONE
NEWS:
At
this time of year, the phrase one hears more often than "Happy
Holiday", or "Happy New Year" is "Where has the
year gone?" Yes it's that season again, and the end of another
busy and satisfying year. Bob Power and all Associates of Touchstone
Consulting would like to wish our clients and all readers of our
newsletter a very enjoyable holiday season and a happy and prosperous
2011.

"OLDIES
BUT GOODIES"
If
you're like most people reviewing a book on a relevant business issue,
you like to see a simple, easy to follow, step-by-step approach.
This is especially so when reading about something as complex as
Organizational Change. The problem is that change is so complex that
a step by step approach planned in advance, seldom goes as intended.
It pays to warn others that when it comes to change, things seldom
go as planned. And if you want evidence of how confusing and haphazard
change can be, read the book "Maverick" by Ricardo Semler.
(Warner Books 1993). Mr Semler, a company owner, recounts how he
set off on the path to extreme change, had lots of setbacks, recovered
and persevered, until he finally succeeded. Nowhere in the book is
there a step- by-step approach. Just like real life.
