Change and Transition:
what's the difference?
Transition in business means a radical change in strategy, business model and outlook. It is often necessary to adapt to new realities like rapidly emerging technologies and shifting markets, but also more personal circumstances, for example when a traditional family-controlled business is struggling with a handover to the next generation.
Change comes after transition – after the pivot. It involves the practical execution of the plans necessary to build success for the future: redirecting resources, hiring and firing, training, new market development. Transitions often happen fast, and the changes they bring can be sudden, profound, and impactful. They be difficult and disruptive, but when executed properly, are rewarding, profitable and morale-boosting
Services
Born and raised in Taiwan but having lived and worked in Europe and the USA, I am in a unique position to bridge the gap in business culture between East and West, helping local enterprises break into the international markets, and assisting Western enterprises to successfully navigate the regional APAC markets and sources.
I help engineering-driven enterprises pivot towards new products by focusing on market desire and customer demand instead of internal capabilities and technology.
One of the most challenging transitions is a generational handover within a family business. Psychologically complex, these also involve a necessary change from established (but potentially limiting) business practices to new methods, new products and new markets. I define and align the vision of all parties and help them find a common goal by building mutual trust and understanding.
One of the biggest challenges for Taiwanese companies is implementing an effective and affordable ESG strategy. With growing supply chain pressure and government regulation around the corner, ESG has shifted from a long-term, low-priority item to a must-have for every business. As a licensed ESG consultant and specialist in change management, I deliver practical, custom-made ESG roadmaps for all enterprises.
