Don't Change Anything

Last month in Geneva, Prof Eddie Obeng presented a talk titled 'Don’t Change Anything'.  The title startled the audience, who thought they were going to session on making stuff happen.  Part of the inspiration for the talk was from the Pentacle LinkedIn Group, who had been asked about their experiences with change.  50% replied that less than 25% of the changes they made in their organisation led to an improvement!  Far more alarmingly, for 40% the changes they initiated Frequently (4 on a scale of 5 from Never to Always) led to unintended consequences!

So it’s not worth starting, and if you succeed you’ll regret it!  :-)  In other words Don’t Change

Anything

.  Unless you discover the secrets Eddie shared such as  'going' into the future' and looking back to see if your change will be an improvement and many others.
