The degree and pace of change at every level makes dealing with the challenges of change more important than ever.  Individuals, managers and organizations in the UN system have a choice:  
Be reactive to change in their environment, or, be adaptive/proactive, managing change process to maximize benefits, and reduce negative impacts.
