If you think that the pace and disruptiveness of change is increasing around you, you are right. In a 2006 U.S. study by the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) almost half of the participating organizations said that the pace of change and the disruptiveness of change had increased so dramatically that it was almost impossible to predict the future.The study - titled Agility and Resiliency - was commissioned by the American Management Association in order to assess organizations' perception of pace, disruption, shock and turbulence in the workplace and their ability to successfully manage through change. i4cp received more than 1,400 responses to the survey, which was sent out to organizations around the globe. A full 37% of respondents went so far as to report that they had experienced “more” or “many more” shocks and surprises in one year than they had in the previous five years, while 39% said that the pace of change was faster but still predictable. Of those organizations experiencing disruptions, 40% had experienced a shock or surprise within the past year alone so severe that it disrupted their core operations, business strategy or mission and even threatened viability.
