Change is happening instantaneously, over night, now. You will have more than one employer now, in the past you would have had 1 all your life. You would have gotten a good education in the past and been guaranteed a good job, but not now.

Because of rapid advances in technology and companies trying to compete, outsourcing and downsizing are commonplace aswell as small business start-ups. Your company now needs to change quickly and radically to meet the changing desires, modes and needs of the modern consumer.

You can't be Henry Ford now, a product lifestyle these days could only last six months to a year.

Competition - because of technology we can compete worldwide. There is no scarcity. Companies have to add more value for less money.

Demographics and Psychographics - Who are the main consumers now? WW2 Generation wanted to bring their kids up as having everything they didn't. Now you can have a million choices of ice cream, WW2 generation had 3 choices of ice cream. This generation wants ice cream with their signature on it. This generation is choosey and jaded. Business' cannot operate how they used to, they have to be very flexible.

Business Process Re-Engineering. If you were to totally re-think things, isn't there a more efficeient way of doing things a more enjoyable way of doing things?

Re-Generation -using human ingenuity to transform dormant resources into significant assets.

Everyone has a well of creativity insiude of them but it hasn't been tapped before because it hasn't had to be tapped. Because human beings only tap into their real ability when things are a 'must' not a 'should'.

Re-Generation :

1. Re-invent yourself. Create a new identity. Get a vision of what you want things to be like, make a decision that this is the way it's going to be and communicate with those around you that this is what you're commited to.
2. Re-engineer you're life so you can get the new identity. Changing you're routine so it matches your new lifestyle.
3. Re-assure the people involved. Change is going to be safe, secure and worth it. Get others to work with you - a coach.
4. Re-train so you can get maximum efficiency.
5. Re-vitalise - take immediate action. Never leave the site of setting a goal without doing something towards it's attainment. Notice the wins along the way and re-inforce them.

No one is trapped in a box no one has no choice, except the person who believes it.
