Abstract

Never before has the pace of change been so rapid. Environmental and social regulations are continuously accelerating at astronomical rates. The competitive environment is becoming increasingly more challenging. While at the same time, the complexity of doing business continues to increase at a parallel pace. Unfortunately, traditional change approaches are incapable of accommodating all of these dimensions. While Whole Scale TM Change, in comparison to traditional approaches, accelerates the cycle time of change and enhances the level of commitment through the process of engaging employees based on the research outlined in this article. Whole Scale TM Change reduced organizational barriers so that system members were encouraged to fully participate, which precipitated an increase in the level of enthusiasm. This enhanced level of energy created the capacity to increase both engagement and acceleration, concurrently. Therefore, Whole Scale TM Change negated traditional change management methodology limitations.
