Thriving in the Face of Ongoing Change

Change is coming to every profession and industry. For the accounting organization, thriving now and in the future will depend on navigating this change successfully.
‍
How? By enabling technology, processes, and people to evolve.

Yet while implementing more effective technology or designing more efficient processes requires time and effort, these changes are far simpler to execute than that of changing people.
‍
Ensuring accounting professionals are ready to evolve with the organization takes time, effort, and empathy.
‍
Identifying specific change personas can help organizations not only prepare teams for change, but ensure every accountant plays a useful role in that change. While the Visionary and the Bellwether are crucial to getting new ideas off the ground, the Guru and the Purist are just as crucial to determine whether those ideas are realistic and sustainable.
‍
Thus, while it may be tempting to hire and promote only change-positive personas, each persona is important to the change process. Effective, healthy change is dependent on enthusiasm and caution, idealism and realism.
