Change IS the point

September 13, 2009 By Chris Corrigan BC, Design, Facilitation One Comment

Adopting change as the point of working together.  When so many efforts seemed aimed at preserving the status quo and mitigating the results of things that change and are not the same as before, what would happen if we adopted change as the point of things?

Jack Ricchiuto on working with a group using this principle:

As usual they are amazed at the pragmatism, efficiency, and wisdom of treating change as a tool of project success rather than a risk, liability, and cost. When change becomes key to how we design future projects, we work with an infinitely greater sense of joy and innovation. When action learning is THE point of projects, change – not compliance -is the key to our success.

It is hard to remember that in fact things are always changing and that the point of getting together is most often to create that change.  Why not just put it upfront: if we are not changing we are not alive.

    I agree wholeheartedly, Chris. We are always changing. It’s our awareness that we are “change beings” or is it “beings in change” that seems to be the really hard part to grasp.

    The one certainty your post raises for me is that as a being of change, I know every brand new morning is a brand new opportunity for individual and collective change. What am I going to choose to change today?
