Changing Change: Influence What You Cannot Control

Changing Change: Influence What You Cannot Control | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

Newton’s First Law of Motion: A body in motion remains in motion and a body at rest remains at rest until acted upon by some unbalanced force.


In the same way that Newtonian physics is giving way to nonlinear dynamics, it is time for Newtonian social science to give way to human systems dynamics. We need a new theory of change that works when boundaries are fluid, diversity is extreme, and communications are fast and uncontrolled. Under these conditions, change is driven by the tension of differences within the system, rather than force imposed from outside.

A Brief Introduction to Change Management

Developed and produced by Paul Brown, 'A Brief Introduction to Change Management' is the first of a management series and delivers a concise and very accessible intro to Change Management. 


 The message is simple: "Change is pervasive in our society and a fact of life in organizations. Change management is about modifying or transforming organizations in order to maintain or improve their effectiveness". Quoting a myriad of Change pioneers, Darwin, a hint of popular philosophy and many groundbreaking theories, Brown succeeded to put the Change Management concept across in a succinct and somehow entertaining way, and as result, sets the bar high for forthcoming works.
