There are two adages familiar to every organization is: time is money, and change is inevitable. The interesting thing is that these truisms are connected—change doesn’t happen without an investment of time. If an organization’s leadership is unwilling to invest the time it takes to properly address the needs, ideas, and priorities of the business to execute change, then the change is likely doomed to fail.
