Abstract: Abstract This introduction to Part III of the handbook emphasizes the importance for companies to be prepared for potential changes that impact their ways of operating. As change is inevitable these days, specifically with what we see in regard to technological advancements, but also from societal or workers’ perspectives, it is highly critical for a company to incorporate change adaptation measures as well as incorporating an agile mindset. A transformation can only be as good as it is understood by its stakeholders; therefore, this introductory chapter to Part III provides a best practice example from one of Germany’s leading companies in the IT sector. It highlights crucial aspects when it comes to communicating change and how to overcome barriers during the transformation process. However, change in rapid turning worlds may be often perceived as climbing one mountain after the other. Hence, understanding the need for long-term and sustainable change is critical for any corporate endeavor.
