Lately, I have read a number of notations about ’emergent change vs. planned change’.

I consider the following journal the quintessential and most proficient write-up on ’emergent and planned change’. It brings out the history of change efforts, key distinctions, the issues and the challenges.

Instead of trying to re-do the ‘best’, I offer this write-up with permission from Lucia Garcia Lorenzo, one of the authors of this insightful journal:

I am grateful to Lucia for her support.
I hope you get much from this astute journal.
