Companies can measure them in direct or indirect ways
Companies can easily communicate their importance both within and outside organization
Strategic Change – has organizational rather than local impact;
Sustainable Change – has deep impact addresses second order issues;
Developmental Change – is improvement to what is already being done. Focus is to strengthen or correct rather
than to go “outside the box”.
Transitional Change – replaces what exists with something entirely different to move to a new “State”. Requires
dismantling and letting go of old order. Once the vision and parameters are created, “projects” can be initiated to
transition the organization.
Transformational Change – is a radical shift of behaviour, culture and mindset. The change is so radical that the
new order must emerge from the change initiative rather than be transitioned to.

where it is used and by whom. The third concerns the process by which the vision is developed, how it
emerges and who has contributed.
