The idea of managing change is a remnant of outmoded Western educational systems that Flick says, "are predominantly geared towards management, developing in people managerial mindsets." He goes on to indict this mindset as a way to "maintain the status quo and avoid hazards", thus exposing an obvious dichotomy. In Flick’s system change requires leadership to be successful and should be "emphasized and focused upon to a higher degree."

54% of Employees not Engaged
According to Jackson and Schmidt in "Transforming Corporate Culture", Gallup and Blessing White have both done extensive research on employee engagement and its impact on business performance. Engaged employees care about the future of the company and are willing to invest extra discretionary effort. Disengaged employees don't. Out of 17 million employees surveyed (2010), less than one-third (28-29%) say that they are actively engaged at work. More distressing is that 54% of employees report that they are not engaged: They float through each workday "doing time" with no passion.

Cultures transform through a deposit of very specific and consistent actions, over time these deposits are like compound interest: they exponentially foster an environment in which the business can thrive and grow.

If it ain’t broke….getting a sense of urgency for change - ChangeQuest
You may be familiar with the idea ofEstablishing a Sense of Urgency when managing change – this is from John Kotter’s 8-step model for change. It’s the idea of getting people to feel the need for change; creating a “burning platform“, because it’s only when people are convinced that change needs to happen, and happen soon, that things will start to move.

Neuroscience’s objective is to study the brain functioning with the help of the most up to date medical imaging technology. It is a scientific practice that supports other domains, such as cognitive sciences (psychology, AI, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, anthropology), and quite shyly but increasingly some more practical domains such as politics, economics or marketing.

It's rare to find a corporate human resources function that accelerates change by actively finding ways to help drive new strategies. Most HR groups sit back and wait for requests from the business for administrative people transactions. In their role of stewards of policy compliance, they can tend to be a brake on change.

Major project failure is an unfortunate fact for many organisations, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects are no exception.
Analyst firm Gartner estimates that 55% to 75% of all ERP projects fail to meet their objectives. Whether your project is a few months or a few years long, whether it’s an upgrade or a new implementation, the financial and cultural well-being of the entire organisation is at stake, and the associated costs of failure range from disruptive to catastrophic.www.thechangesamurai.com

A growing number of organizations are starting to move from a project-by-project perspective and toward an approach for institutionalizing change management and building organizational capabilities and competencies.

If You Want to Change Your Organization, Change Management | Enclaria: Change Starts Here
A phrase often touted as a key step in the change process is “getting buy-in from key stakeholders.” The concept is usually interpreted as gaining permission from managers to implement change in their areas. But most changes in organizations require more than just permission or agreement; they require a different way of managing to support the changes. In fact, nothing drags down change more than managers who disempower people to change because they themselves keep managing the same way as before.

20 Seconds of Courage: Change is Going to Come - Delivering Happiness
Change is almost always scary, regardless of the perceived outcome of the change. Considering that most adults spend the vast majority of their waking lives at work, a change in that space can be fraught with anxiety and fear. Even the most well-thought-out decision means stepping out into the unknown, away from familiar surroundings and (hopefully) friendly faces.
