The merits of agility were first pointed in good detail by Charles Darwin himself. According to his words, “In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.”
As the world today seems to be extremely fast and up-to-date with innovations and inventions, business leaders have started to understand that everything is under constant change or transformation. The technology today is moving ahead at a very fast pace making the growth of the companies a lot volatile. If we compare the situation to the theory put forward by Darwin, we could find that only the companies which have developed the agility required to adapt to the constantly changing landscape of the business are able to survive in the industry for a longer time. Change management has emerged as a critical factor for companies all over the world today. Great business leaders possess the ability to take leverage of these changes and lead the new order rising because of it. In the modern world, the corporate models age very rapidly and in order to survive and thrive in such an unpredictable climate, one must develop the agile programming capability to reinvent at a short notice or remodel at a short span. Those who fail to do so find themselves obsolete and vanished without a trace.

The leaders who acquire the ability to adapt to the new norms of agility across the industry rapidly are the ones who can anticipate and predict the changes before they actually happen and act upon these changes in order to ensure the survival and prosperity of their organization even after the change. Viable change management process can be developed and implemented in response to the changes in the market with timely and effective organization support for coping with the anticipated or predicted change.
A great man always sees the changes as an opportunity, an enabler; something which can be taken advantage of to reach new heights. On the other hand, those who see the changes as hurdles or inhibitor are more likely to fall prey to the Darwinism effect with their organization ultimately failing or struggling to survive in the new order.
A business leader in today’s world must learn on how to integrate and implement change management into the core foundation of their business and must possess the ability and expertise to construct a business design and strategy around it. A great leader would keep his team updated about those strategies and his resources ready at short notice. One can reap huge rewards from the agility of their enterprise by adopting a proper blueprint for integrating such agility into their business and placing the required change management tools and change management strategies in place ready for disposal at short notice.
Change management is one of the most effective strategies for implementing changes in the organization. Most of the large organizations use change management systems and tools for the task. One of the most well-known and used change management systems is the Prosci system which is utilized by many Fortune 500 companies all over the world.
Change management is necessary as although every leader is capable of developing a roadmap for the ecosystem of the company after the change, not all of them find it easy to execute it. Execution of an idea is difficult unless the tools and manpower associated with it are managed effectively. Adoption of change management systems or architecture rescues one from this burden by easing up the whole change management process in the ecosystem of the organization which can be achieved through agile programming.
