Is Your Organization Prepared to Manage Tsunami Change?

ABSTRACT

The accumulative and accelerated rate of change organizations are dealing with in today's times of non-stop and unpredictable change and the powerful wave of changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have had an overwhelming, Tsunami Change effect on many organizations. The result can be organizational chaos, a lack of plans for how to succeed in changing times, the mismanagement of change, and a culture where employees are frustrated, overworked, and underappreciated or are planning to leave. This article defines Tsunami Change, presents Tsunami Change as different from the permanent white water change so accurately portrayed by Peter Vail that organizations are experiencing, and offers recommendations for managing Tsunami Change and developing organizational expertise in managing change.
