understand the implications of the
change

What Is and Is Not Changing
• People are more apt to get on-board with the change
if you are clear about what is and isn’t changing
–Sell the problem before selling the solution
–Sell the problem without putting down the past

Rule #7: Provide a bridge between
the new and old.

Rule #7: Provide a bridge between the new and
the old.
“ It’s not so much that we’re afraid of
change, or so in love with the old
ways, but it’s that place in between
we fear…it’s like being in between
trapezes. It’s Linus when his blanket
is in the dryer. There is nothing to
hold on to.”
- Marilyn Ferguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy

• Takes time to evolve to the
new ways
• The old way no longer works
but the new way has not
fully arrived or been fully
implemented
• Need a set of explicit
temporary arrangements
that help address the in-
between time…the time
between trapezes
