Gary Hamel
Goodbye Yesterday, Welcome Tomorrow
The dogmas of the quiet past,
are inadequate to the stormy present....
we must think anew & act anew
Abraham Lincoln
Stopping to act only with yesterday’s logic
- 21st-century technology & generation
- mid-20th-century management processes
- atop 19th-century management principles

Bridging Today & Tomorrow, a Challenge
It’s not so much that we’re afraid of
change or so in love with the old ways,
but it’s that place in between we fear…
It’s like being between trapezes…
Marilyn Ferguson
In “The Aquarian
Conspiracy”
Letting go of the grip of the
past in uncertain times is
very uncomfortable
Attention for the
Human Factor is key!

9. Remember: The Human Key
• People are the key to any success
• People are your customers
• People make an organization and own the culture
• People bring ideas, innovation & solve problems
• People interaction & collaboration deliver output for your success
• People with shared purpose & interest grow to their full potential
• People drive, improve and innovate organization processes
• People choose, implement and use your tech
• People need to be the centre of any piece of transformation
