Change Management Disruptions of Your Competitors

We have all heard a lot about change management and it seems to be a buzzword that is being kicked around in management schools at top universities. Change management interruptions can cause chaos in a Corporation and it is this reason that Change Management is discussed in case studies at MBA schools.

One thing that is not talked about very much is how change management disruptions affect your competitors and how you can take advantage of them. In my younger days I use to race motorcycles; street bikes, the ones that go really really fast and you put your knee on the ground sometimes at 135 plus miles per hour trying to stay balanced. Well, one thing I learned is it pays to be lucky, practice your skills and fundamentals and watch for your competitors make mistakes.

One thing they teach you in racing schools with super bikes is to use the whole track. In business you must use all possible strategies to win the game. If your competitor makes a mistake you need to capitalize on that mistake, just like you do in racing or competitive sports.

In the marketplace changes in management of your competition can cause times of indecision, mistakes and these disruptions indeed will slow the company down. It behooves you to pay attention to what the competition is doing and when they make a mistake accelerate past them in the marketplace. Oh, and don\'t look back. Consider all this in 2006.
