How to plan for change

- The best cure for worry is planning,…and in any situation, it's best to have a plan,…so that should be your first thought…when a change is announced, make a plan.…If you prefer working in a team,…or if you don't have all the skills you need on your own,…maybe get a group of people together.…Organize to meet with some other people…and pool your knowledge and your ideas.…Get as much information as you can about what's happening…and what's going to happen,…which may require a bit of investigating…and a second meeting.…

Your plan will probably require a number of options.…If this happens, we'll do this.…If that happens, we'll do that.…If you can have all the options covered,…then you'll feel much better about the change that's coming.…Even though there's still a chance that it will end up…being different to all of your options.…And remember, that as well as a defensive plan,…how to hang on to what you've got,…your plan should incorporate positive ideas,…what benefits might you get from the situation?…What are your goals already?…
