"You can’t build an adaptable organisation without adaptable people.” This quote highlights the critical need for equipping individuals and organisations with adaptability skills to navigate change effectively. Problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills are just a few examples of the competencies required. Failing to prioritise these skills and neglecting to manage their impact on people can often lead to organisational failures.
Change is inevitable; it happens every day in our lives. In the 21st century, rapid technological advancements and constantly shifting market dynamics demand that the workforce develop strong adaptability skills to manoeuvre through changes and capitalise on new opportunities. A change is only considered truly successful when the affected individuals fully accept and commit to the organisation’s new direction.
This is where leaders’ strong ability to lead change backed by effective management of change (Change Management) becomes essential. By focusing on identifying and addressing the needs of those impacted by change, change management (CM) reduces potential resistance, issues, and risks. Having clear direction and expectations for the change makes up the first steps to drive positive change.
