    APPROACH TO CHANGE
            
START WITH WHAT WE DO NOW
AGREE TO PURSUE INCREMENTAL CHANGE
INITIALLY RESPECT ALL CURRENT ROLES
ENCOURAGE ACTS OF LEADERSHIP AT ALL LEVELS


                                              22

PEOPLE & CULTURE
              
 CHANGE COMES FROM THE PEOPLE. 
THEIR BEHAVIOURS FORM THE CULTURE. 
               
CHANGE NEEDS TO BE PEOPLE-CENTRIC.
