Definition
Change can be generally defined as an act or process through which something becomes different. In an organizational context we refer continuously to the word “change” as a general pattern against which organizations and leaders work, as well as to the internal practice of adapting (or inability to adapt) to this general pattern.

I use tags to connect contents in my published articles (but also across quotes, book reviews and other pieces). Not all these pages are “rich” in terms of connecting content. In some cases I use these also to run some definitions of concepts that I use across my site. For comments and feedback, please go to the relevant content page.
