QUICK-HIT TIPS

1) Pace yourself: Decide which changes must take place immediately; efforts such as software upgrades might not be prudent during times of turmoil.

2) Be decisive: Especially during acquisitions, think hard before taking a best-of-breed approach.

3) Expect pushback: Change is difficult for employees, so be ready with the justification for changes.
