Abstract
The presentation will allow the information systems professional to identify exactly where he or she resides on the continuum of the 'change' paradigm currently captivating the executive minds of our society. As hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies 'downsize' or 'rightsize', the resulting tensions cannot help having detrimental effects if allowed to progress unchecked. The presentation reinforces how those who deal with daily technological change must evolve using concepts explained with future-based management strategy models.
