    Whether it is about your work product, your ability to conduct a meeting or the way you look? Can you remember the last time you said “thank you” to feedback? Whether the feedback feels positive or negative, be thankful that a stakeholder took the time to give you feedback. While business analysts and project managers are often facilitators, helping others achieve their goals, we work with people who often have “day jobs.” They are having to help our current project or change initiative in addition to doing their regular work. They took the time to read what you had created and gave you feedback. That is a gift!

    Abstract:
    Innovation remains hard to define and even harder to measure, but businesses are finding that in order to succeed in today’s economy, a shift in focus, a change in the approach to business strategy with a new mindset is now required. As a change agent, consultants remain challenged in how they can enable organizations to not only realize the needed changes, but to also act upon and try different approaches. These facilitators must utilize levers of innovation that can spur people into motion. Many reactive levers, especially in heavily regulated industries such as with financial organizations, present themselves only in retrospect as companies analyze the changes made in response to external pressures. However, if one can identify and utilize proactive levers, ones that change not just the business processes but begin to shift the entire culture, longer lasting and positive organizational changes can and will emerge that propels the business to continued success.
