The Department of Transition
Every entity, every organization, every institution needs a Department of Transition, whether formal or informal. The tectonic shifts are upon us.
The greatest threat to any organization is not disruption from the outside. It is the refusal to rewire from within.
This idea is not new. Joseph Schumpeter described it in 1942 as creative destruction, the process by which new innovations relentlessly displace older technologies, companies, and business models, continually reshaping the economic structure from within.
For those rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, the outcome is predictable. The Department of Transition is an alternative. A willingness to deliberately, strategically dismantle what once created success, before reality makes that choice for you.
Acknowledging what is ending and providing a soft landing for those impacted.
The enabling infrastructure and transitional support for building what is next.
The incubator and rebirth, nurturing and regenerating into the new horizon.
Come, let’s reason these issues through together.
