Signifies Life
 The Cheese
Signifies What It Is You Want

“Cheese” – a metaphor for what we want to have in life, whether it is a

job, a relationship, money, a big house, freedom, health, recognition,
spiritual peace, or even an activity like jogging or golf.

Each of us has our own idea of what Cheese is, and we pursue it
because we believe it makes us happy. If we get it, we often become
attached to it. And if we lose it, or it’s taken away, it can be traumatic.

Can We Maintain
the Status Quo?
It is not the strongest of the species that survives,

not the most intelligent,

but the one most responsive to change.”

Charles Darwin
There are three things we
can know about change.

First, it is going to happen – the future will

not be like the past.

Second, it won’t happen exactly the way

we expect it to. Lastly, it will happen
much faster than
we expect.

 Getting Out Of Your COMFORT ZONE

Change is something that

presses us out of our comfort
zone.

Change is for the better or for

the worst, depending on where
you view it.

Change has an adjustment

period which varies on the
individual.

It is uncomfortable, for
changing from one state to the
next upsets your control over
outcomes.
 Change Defined
"Change is the window through which the
future enters your life." It's all around you, in
many types and shapes. You can bring it about
yourself or it can come in ways

Organizational Change
Success in business doesn't come from feeling
comfortable. In today's technology-driven world,
business life cycles have accelerated exponentially.
The challenge is to keep a step ahead of changing
market conditions, new technologies and human
resources issues.

 Change As A ‘Why’ Problem
Consider the following hypothetical dialogue with yourself as an illustration of tracing out ends-means relationships.
• Why do people need to be more creative?
• I’ll tell you why! Because we have to change the way we do things and we need ideas about how to do that.
• Why do we have to change the way we do things?
• Because they cost too much and take too long.
• Why do they cost too much?
• Because we pay higher wages than any of our competitors.
• Why do we pay higher wages than our competitors?
• Because our productivity used to be higher, too, but now it’s not.
• Aahh! The true aim is to improve productivity!
• No it isn’t; keep going.
• Why does productivity need to be improved?
• To increase profits.
• Why do profits need to be increased?
• To improve earnings per share.
• Why do earnings per share need to be improved?
• To attract additional capital.
• Why is additional capital needed?
• We need to fund research aimed at developing the next generation of products.
• Why do we need a new generation of products?
• Because our competitors are rolling them out faster than we are and gobbling up market share.
• Oh, so that’s why we need to reduce cycle times.
• Hmm. Why do things take so long?

NOT AN EVENT
