Today’s Tip  Make Your Organization Change-Ready The best time to prepare for change is before it starts. But you don’t always have that luxury, especially when the future is uncertain and unstable. Instead you need to equip your organization to thrive in a state of constant  change by reshaping its relationship to it. Here’s how: Convey a different mindset. Don’t talk about  change as something to be controlled and managed. Have an attitude that any change — good or bad, big or small, expected or  unwelcome — is an opportunity for growth and  improvement. Conduct a “change audit.” Assess your  organization’s readiness for a world in  constant flux. Where is change hitting hardest in your organization? Which departments, functions, and teams have  excelled despite the instability of the last  18 months — and why? Assign someone to be responsible for your organization’s change-readiness. Depending  on the size of your organization, it may be time to add a chief change officer whose  cross-functional role is dedicated to  helping the entire company prepare  for a change-heavy future.
