Change• The world hates change, yet it is the

only thing that has brought progress – Charles Kettering – holder of 186 patents

• “When it comes to technology…if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.” Stewart Brand – editor of the Whole Earth Catalog.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.”• Steve Jobs – technology guy – change agent

5 Stages of End User’s Technology Grief

“This will never happen…” --“Another IT Project. Riiiiiight…” -- “They will fail.”

“We can make sure this will not happen…”“They WILL fail”“Obviously, that will never work here. We are too unique. How can they not know that?”

“… just recreate my same reports like they are in the current system, please. Thank you! Y’all are AWESOME!”

“…Oh, was there a meeting invite? Sorry, I must have missed it in the 226 other urgent emails from that day. Sorry. Check my calendar, maybe there are a few open minutes next month. So sorry…”

“Wait ‘till I show what WE built!” – “We wanted it to be blue and purple and in French and in Latin and what do you mean ‘Phase 2’? – we need it NOW!
