\"Quotes-to-understand-sales-transformation-Prima-Ressource\"In the last few years, companies have had to go through a lot of adaptations. They bring their share of uncertainties, mistakes, enthusiasm, misunderstandings and successes.<\/p>\n

If it has always been necessary to evolve to ensure the continuity of the business, the changes required today are more numerous and more difficult, because they directly affect the mentality, the state of mind and the adoption of new behaviours. It’s easier to build machines than it is to change humans, who by nature tend to prefer the status quo<\/span>.<\/p>\n

5. There is no linear transformation<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Rick-Warren-Linear-Transformation\"<\/p>\n

Rick Warren<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Mindset is key to the success of any transformation<\/span><\/h2>\n

“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John A. Shedd<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

11. Innovation is the source of opportunities<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Quote-Jeff<\/p>\n

“Resilience \u2013 if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you\u2019d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn\u2019t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff Bezos<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

12. Good practices are constantly evolving<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Quote-Alfred<\/p>\n

Happy transformation!<\/p>\n
