Eight out of ten CEO’s see significant change ahead and yet the gap between expected change and the ability to manage it has almost tripled since…2006.” From surveys/interviews with over 1100 CEO’s from around the world IMPLICATIONS: “Change is a permanent state.. and the ability to change quickly and successfully is more critical than ever.” Resistance to change
