To
better follow this one please read the ingredients
for success in a future post :)
Change is necessary for
continuity if not for continued success. Change can be minor improvements or
complete transformations evens. For successful
changes/transformations the same recipe applies: intent & commitment.
To affect good transformations
it sometimes may be beneficial to change
the current environment too or launch the venture from a new platform. The
common human needs to see and feel real differences for maximum
excitement. This is why events and projects have logos, captions, mascots and
even a new project location.
Intent + Risk + Environment
An example would be the case of
an ‘enlightened’ person (religious/secular). We can point out some notable
personalities who reached pinnacle of success ostensibly after a conversion; in
the religious sense (born-again) or even by any thought paradigm(EST). One can
see all the elements (intent, risk, and environment) in play here.
The ingredients are useful even
if an individual, group and institutions contemplate the change of identity.
Success is hampered when
transformation is incomplete. This means it is a case where one of the elements
was ignored. Happy married life: first
there has to be the intent to be married and should not be forced upon. Then
the promise: a public ‘I do’ or even a public ceremony will do. The couple is
in a merged environment from then, good enough for the platform element. What
commonly lacks or ignored is the commitment J which is essential for long-term success.
