2.5 Meeting the challenge of change
Currency fluctuations, government policy and competitive pressure all ensure
that the way we operate in five years’ time will be different from the way we
operate today. Reacting to new technology, new products and new legislation
guarantees that every year will present a steep learning curve. Reflect on the
last five years and expect twice as much change in the next five.
In this environment, the precise steps to deliver the chosen business strategy
will evolve as opportunities present themselves. The ability to look forward
and direct continuous improvement activities towards those opportunities is
therefore vitally important.
