Successful organizations understand that change is inevitable and the greatest risk is avoiding change. Leaders must be aware of internal and external conditions to confidently react quickly to changes. Those who do not adapt to changing conditions will not survive. While change carries risks, inaction poses even greater risks of loss or lower returns. Thoughtful changes addressing real needs and providing long-term value are more likely to succeed than avoiding changes.

Although change may be risky, lack of change is riskier. Successful organizations realize that change is coming at them every day. Leaders within those organizations need to know what is happening internally and externally, and be ready to react quickly with confidence. Those who cannot or will not respond to changing conditions will not last.

One definition of risk is the quantifiable likelihood of loss or lower
than expected returns. Notice that a decision not to change has its own risks. Almost any action is better than none. It is even more likely to succeed if it is thought through, is based on real needs, and has clear organizational value in the long run.
