Small-business owners know that change is a normal part of day-to-day operations. Embracing the positive changes, those that arise from external forces or from internal needs, will help locally owned shops stay nimble and competitive.
It’s important to be adaptable to customers’ needs and demands. Identifying an effective change management strategy will help your core business goals remain intact, while adjusting to what is driving the market. Be sure not to veer so far from your original objectives that you alter the niche service/good your company provides.
