  Becoming as Nimble as Change Itself
  The goal, according to Professor Hamel, is a world of accelerating change is an organization that reaches out and, almost unconsciously, embraces the new. The goal is a strategy that is forever morphing, forever conforming itself to emerging opportunities and incipient trends. The goal is an organization that is constantly making its future rather than defending its past. The goal is a company where revolutionary change happens in a thousand, lightening-quick, evolutionary steps - where there are no calamitous surprises, no convulsive reorganizations and no colossal write-offs; where there is plenty of excitement, but no trauma. Sound naïve? Sound impossible?

  A few decades ago we would have laughed at the notion “zero defects.” But today we live in a world where six sigma, 3.4 defects per million, is widely viewed as an achievable goal. So why shouldn't we commit ourselves to zero trauma? Defects cost money, but so do missed opportunities, involuntary retrenchment programs, outdated strategies and dispirited employees.

  As presently constructed, many of society’s most important institutions are not resilient. Yet there is no law that says they must remain so. More than anyone on the planet, Hamel can show your organization get ready for a world in which change is shaken, not stirred.
