One could easily argue that the by-word for the 21st century thus far is "change." It has become so commonplace for organizational authors to begin articles by referencing the accelerating forces of change that are present in today's world, that I'm a little reluctant to mention it here. But the reality is that all organizations are struggling with the issue of change. For some, that struggle has led to retreat, retrenchment, and eventual obsolescence. Others, however, are trying to leverage the forces of change to better accomplish their ultimate purposes.
