Navigating the Challenges of Change: UnitiQ's Role in Helping Organizations Stay Competitive
The past success of an organization often leads to the overvaluing of the policies and attitudes that contributed to that success. While these beliefs and policies may contribute to the stability of the firm in a stable environment, they can become embedded in the firm's culture over time, making them difficult to change.
As a result, the organization can become a prisoner of its past success, with any attempt to change viewed as an attack on the organization itself.

Change is inevitable, however, as all organizations must adapt to changes in their environment or face the possibility of failure. External pressure or strong leadership can provide the impetus for change, but change must be guided and directed by the leadership of the firm to avoid significant upheaval.
The corporate leadership must navigate the challenges of overcoming the heavy investment in the status quo and the threat to jobs, rank, and cherished beliefs that come with changes in policy and strategy. In the article about hierarchical structures preventing change we talk about how it prevents ideas sharing and bottlenecking the change to a small group of top-managers.
The organization may be blind to the need for change until it is too late to maintain a competitive advantage in flexibility and speed of response. For instance, one of the key aspects on the table for a recent years is a digital transformation as a way to increase productivity, which is still moving too slow due to the fact that people used to share excel spreadsheets via e-mail.

Conversely, attempting to change policy before there is a general awareness of the need can be viewed as irrational and a reflection on leadership's ability to make "reasonable" decisions. Furthermore, major changes in policy have far-reaching consequences, which dictate caution and conservatism.
Changing policy is risky for both the organization and its leadership. Policies are applied to decisions in the future, based on assumptions about the conditions and competition in the future. Major shifts in policy require strong leadership to anticipate the change and manage the evolution, even if the organization as a whole opposes the changes required.
To outperform their competition, management must conceive and make explicit a superior strategy, provide the leadership required to overcome obstacles to change, and provide that leadership at a time when the organization as a whole would ordinarily oppose the changes required. While the forces of corporate culture are set against change, the rewards can be substantial for those managements who can successfully manage the evolution of the organization.
