• If You Don’t Like Change – You are Going to Hate Extinction

  This program explores change ... the successes, the failures, the reasons behind both and how to capitalize on the opportunities that are created because of change. As Ben Franklin stated: “When you're finished changing, you're finished." Change is inevitable and it is constant! Change is not the problem. The inability to cope, handle, and adapt to change is the problem. You can either choose to embrace it or watch as your business disintegrates right before your eyes. Everyone is standing on shaky ground. Today's King of the Mountain could be tomorrow's case study on failure. Kodak, Sears, Borders, Blackberry, and JC Penney all went bankrupt … and ultimate reason for their demise was their inability to handle change. When a company increases the value offered to a customer by improving the product, enhancing service, offering better technology or increasing efficiencies, the competition must follow. No matter what else is happening, it is the customer who is choosing when and where to spend their money. This program helps attendees recognize the value and importance of change and it’s inevitability: by embracing the concept of change, one embraces the future.
