Why Seek Assistance in Managing Transitions?
Because a well managed transition builds a foundation for growth.Each step in the growth process requires a different management style. The learning step requires the ability to organize existing information and develop new processes and procedures. The growth phase requires execution of the plan. Stabilization requires the ability to hold together the existing structure as it prepares for the shift to the next stage of growth. Successful transition management requires the ability to lead from one known environment through a period of uncertainty to a new known environment. Transition management is the ability to harness the natural tension between stability and growth.
Successful organizations repeat this process many times as they grow from small and entrepreneurial to a well managed medium size organization to multiple regional offices to national to international to global. Transition management assures that each step in growth builds successfully on the foundation of the previous stage of growth.
