"We've
overestimated the ability of enterprises, individuals, and
organizations to absorb change, and we've seriously underestimated the
amount of discipline it may take to do that well."
--Andrea
Anania, executive vice president and CIO of CIGNA Corp quoted in Fast
Company Magazine, March, 2002

who need to effectively sponsor change

techniques, and insights into the nature--public and
private--of the sponsorship
role thereby increasing their ability to succeed |

and implementing responsibilities a process
and tools for assessing key implementation risks, designing a
blueprint for change
and monitoring progress toward achieving results |
|

importance of effectively communicating change with a balance
of integrity and humility |
