  11. Understanding dynamic change “Successful change in business is about getting the balance right. You have to get your troops together( bottom-up energy) and face them in the right direction (top down energy). You must grab their imagination (inside-out energy) to ensure that your customers get what they want (outside-in energy)” Sir John Harvey-Jones
