Is Incremental Change an Oxymoron?
My friend Scott McLeod over at Dangerously Irrelevant published a post today that makes an obvious (but potentially startling) point about the nature of change.
Scott is an educator, an Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Educational Administration Program at Iowa State University. But change is an issue in the business world right now - perhaps more so than in education.
Scott's post is just a presentation slide from another sourcehe put together. It shows a man jumping between two buildings - suspended in midair at the halfway point. A caption reads: No one jumps a 20 foot chasm in two 10 foot jumps. Think about that the next time you consider substantial, qualitative change for your business.
