Living with Continuous Change

Alf Chattell

Chapter 7 in Managing for the Future, 1995, pp 142-163 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Tomorrow’s organizations will continue to move in environments of great turbulence and uncertainty. Those that will succeed are those which are more adaptable, innovative, fast moving and customer-oriented than the competition. Uncertainty, and the required responses to it, challenge traditional management approaches. Traditional linear long-cycle strategic planning approaches are particularly inappropriate if the only certainty is uncertainty, and the organization is operating in a real-time world that is only satisfied by real-time action.
