title: The 360 degrees nature of change implementation and the essential three Ds for successful and sustainable change.
abstract: The challenge and real key to future success is to be more than just receptive to change. Lasting success will come to those that encourage innovation and create change. But most of our organizations have not been successful at implementing change initiatives, let alone sustaining them. We fail to recognize that change is a process that requires definition, decisiveness, and leadership to deliver the success and sustainability we so badly need. Successful and sustainable change can happen with the "3 Ds": define, decide, and deliver. Making sure that change is successful is every stakeholder's responsibility, and making change sustainable is something that must be driven by leadership.
