Technology is changing faster, and consumers are adopting new technologies faster than ever; consumer behaviors are shifting more quickly, and even political movements are happening with sudden swiftness. Remember the Arab Spring and how fast Egypt collapsed? Given this pace of relentless change, in my latest book Charting Change we will show you how the Human-Centered Change™ methodology can help you keep pace in a more visual, collaborative way.
