Success in business in the 21^st century isn’t achieved by sticking to outdated business management models of the past. These obsolete models are more of a liability to a business rather than an asset. You may ask yourself, why would a business model be subject to change?

In addition, 74 per cent of executives think innovation is critical when adopting management changes than cost reduction strategies, and 54 per cent of businesses reported having successfully integrated and sustained changes. However, there are several variables to consider when selecting changes to company policy. The steadfast executive needs to be aware of the fatigue associated with change. In fact, 65 per cent of surveyed employees had admitted to experiencing severe change fatigue when their employer adopted too many changes at once. The next variable is ensuring your company has the necessary capabilities to utilize, and more importantly, sustain said changes. Studies show that 48 per cent of employees have stated they don’t believe their companies have the tools to implement and maintain long-term changes. Lastly, the final and most important variable is ensuring your employees understand and accept the changes being brought forth, 44 per cent of employees have stated they didn’t understand the differences, and 38 per cent didn’t agree with them.
