Five Change Insight
The speed of business change is accelerating, but more than two-thirds of change management effort fail to achieve the expected result, To keep up with today’s change and market disruption requires agility, speed, and resourcefulness. That requires the right people: the change champions, the effective process, and productive tools well tuned to make it happen. Here are five change insight.Change is simply a shift of the “Old Way – Chaos – New Way” to do things. Change is tough, there are full of pitfalls on the way, such as change fatigue, change inertia, change resistance, it is simply so hard to get out of the comfort zone., etc. Hence, it’s important to follow the scenario with logic steps to manage changes. Creating desire for change (usually through WIIFM – What’s In It For Me) is part of change management. During the whole process, make sure that all staff is aware of the plan/process, timely updated, and responsible for something. Break down the change process into phases and communicate each phase to employees on time. Make each individual feel responsible for the success of the plan, engage them actively and make sure that your new proposal solves their current problems, and provide the better working environment. Change can not be just another thing that needs to be accomplished. It has to be woven into communication, process, and action of the organization. Make your plan flexible and implement changes based on staff feedback. Making changes should be a fun and innovative journey, not just a stressful one-time project. Most of the organizations would like to change their business processes, as long as individuals know how they will benefit personally from the change in the process. This is particularly important in those creative industries or organizations that have extensive innovative product development regimes. It would follow that developing creativity and building changeability would be more welcome in these areas.
To make change sustain, the important thing is “end-to-end” performance: In today’s work environment, change indeed is difficult to measure unless all parties involved in the change take ownership of the change and see why and what the change is about. Change impact analysis and business readiness are two key processes that need to conduct to give a person a glimpse of what to measure. Measuring change involves first accurately identifying where you are now. Then, clearly identifying where you want to be once the change is complete. Both require the necessity to be brutally honest and to establish clear, understandable, and easily calculable metrics. Too often transformational change is acted on the basis of improving one part of an organization at the expense of other parts of the organization, the main reason is that up to this point in time, most leaders have been silo managers and don’t really have the business skills or personality traits to lead transformation and change. The metrics need to be SMART, so people can see what the outcome will look like throughout their transition. Second, there should be a consideration for a balanced scorecard that measures the progress you want to achieve during the change transition, this keeps people focused. To make change sustain, it is important to manage end-to-end performance, including both a series of in-process measures and a set of final, desired outcome, measures will be the appropriate ones.
Structure and behavior are two elements co-working in every organism in nature and in every system designed by human culture: Flatter structures will help speed up organizational response to changing markets. The goal for optimized organizational design is to get the mass collaboration, innovation through less hierarchy, cross-functional insight and adopt the robust processes designed for improving responsiveness and harnessing communication. So part of the digital journey is to prepare people for the new structures and to recognize increasing collective consciousness is a crucial step, in order to master the change and drive the seamless digital transformation. As organizational design researchers well put, the key diagnostics whether the organization design is fit or not can be summed up in two simple questions: “Are you big enough for your job?” and “Is your job big enough for you?” If the answer to both is “yes” throughout the organization, then the business is in the flow state.
Look at resistances to change as a source of energy and where there is energy there is still passion and potential: Some say, change is not a problem, the primary reason for change failure is resistance to change while the secondary reason is the inability of leaders to deal with resistance. Animate the transformation and manage transformation initiatives. Change is inevitable, and the only differences are the reasons and goals behind the change and its scope and depth/breadth (Why the change, what you need to accomplish, what does it consist of and what does it impact). Two types of resistances are expected: Personal and Structural, and both need to be addressed effectively and efficiently. Build up a positive emotional environment, foster positive relationships, communicate relentlessly, cool down stressed people before they stress others, be there at the crossroad of the transformation to make sure information and interaction flow in every direction, build up trust by bonding people around clear and benevolent intentions.Overall, good anticipation in planning is key for a smoother execution, while regular updates and plan adjustments will enhance your chances of success. If someone is “resisting” change, what’s that about? At a minimum, they need to be heard and understood – which removes some of the perceived resistance. The person labeled a resistor may even share the same purpose as the sponsors: It is wise to look for a “positive intent” behind a “resistor,” Better yet, engage people in the design of change solutions so that issues can be surfaced and addressed early.
One of the good reasons for change is to keep the organization fit, and a fitting business has better changeability and higher agility as well. “organizational fit means “incluversity.” “Fit” doesn’t mean that everyone needs to have the same thought process, the same personalities, the same preferences, or the same experiences. Indeed, the best-fit mind means “think differently,” the best fit team has complementary skills and capabilities, and the best-fit organization has differentiated competency to achieve a high-performing result. Fitting” doesn’t take cookie cutting approach, The right fit people are the ones who possess the right mind with knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviours necessary to move your business in the direction it needs to go; to help realize the vision and values of the organization, they are fit for changes, and keep innovating and transforming the business for the long-term prosperity. People need to be developed and grown so the positive energy can flow and collective human capabilities can really be transformed. Where you want to look for ‘fit’ is in relation to the values you want to build or maintain within your team, and the kinds of behaviors that you would expect to see as a result of, or in alignment with, those values.It is nevertheless true that the change itself has become unpredictable and evolutionary, as compared to treading through carefully laid down road-map. Change is the journey and ongoing capability to keep the business dynamic and organization reaching its maturity.

The Monthly “Thinkingaire” Book Tuning: Cultivating Thinking Habits May 2017
As humans, we can not Not think!
With the increasing speed of change in the hyperconnected digital ecosystem, some industrial mindsets with “status quo” types of thinking, authoritarian attitude, and bureaucratic decision-make, are outdated, turn to be a “dragger” of the business innovation and a laggard of the digital paradigm shift. More specifically, what are the perception gaps to become the very obstacles for digital transformation and how to close them to embrace digital thinking styles?
Cultivating Thinking Habits
“Thinking Habit”: Do you Have One? As humans, we can not Not think! Our mind is always operating either in the foreground, or the background, at conscious, subconscious or superconscious mode. Since we don’t always “feel pain,” then thinking, in general, is not necessarily painful. However, we need to distinguish amongst the different types of thinking in order to evaluate the thought processes, also improve thinking qualities such as criticality, profundity, creativity, intelligence, etc. So how do you ingrain the thinking habits?
Creative Thinking Habit: Are we Capable of being Creative in an Auto Mode? The human progress is all based on our thinking, learning and changing capabilities. We tend to learn things in a series of small steps. Each step is quite simple and the link between steps is not a smooth one. Gradually this evens itself out as we learn whatever it is we are learning. Those initial steps were as they were because we use conscious thinking. When a human interactive task becomes automated, the crux of using our subconscious mind is to appreciate how different it is from our conscious mind. Even though the conscious mind (deliberate thoughts) and subconscious mind (auto mode) exist in the same body, they have vastly different characteristics. One of the interesting debates would be: Are we capable of being creative in an auto mode??
Whole Brain Thinking? According to the theory of left-brain or right-brain dominance, each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. Additionally, people are said to prefer one type of thinking over the other. It has been shown that in many ways the two parts of the brain work separately yet without apparent conflict. Do they process information differently? Are you left-brainer or right-brainer? Shall we encourage whole brain thinking
Critical Thinking & Critical Thinker Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.
Can you Thinking Positively -How to Handle Negative Emotions Human is not perfect, there’s positive emotions and negative emotions; such as joy, anger, grief, worry, fear, sentiments, affection, and the 8th one: envy; the negative emotions such as the malicious envy may evoke the unprofessional or even destructive behaviors to build the walls in people’ hearts and cause the toxic culture in the work, business, and society. So how to handle your emotions and raise your EQ effectively.
The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 1.8 million page views with about 3800+ blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the “hungry minds” and the “deep souls.” It’s the journey to amplify your voice, deepen your digital footprints, and match your way for human progression.

Confused about what sort of artwork you can have on tshirts that you sell without infringing copyright
So I want to sell some tshirts that are inspired by the work and albums of musicians by interpreting their albums and creating symbolic images that may or may not incorporate their song titles and maybe album title on the shirt but where is the line drawn?
I know you can’t use celebrity likenesses on shirts or song lyrics on shirts but I still see those everywhere and especially on the sight redbubble where independent artists sell shirts that, for instance, have Kendrick lamars album name “DANM.” across the shirt.
Can you do this or are these people just taking their chances. Where is the line drawn with copyrights on this stuff?

Bogus share capital: AO must scrutinise documents produced by assessee, addition cannot be done merely on report of investigation wing
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal’s (ITAT) order upholding the Appellate Commissioner’s opinion that the additions made in the course of reassessments were unsustainable, were challenged by the Revenue. The reassessment notice was issued to the assessee for AY 2002- 03 on the ground that information received from the Investigation Wing pointed to its being the beneficiary of the accommodation entries that were subjected to addition under Section 68.
