Embracing Change: A Retrospective

by Diana Larsen

In Kent Beck's "Opening Statement" in the September 2002 issue of Cutter IT Journal, he promised that in this issue, a "real, professional change agent" -- me -- would comment on all 12 articles from both issues in terms of what the authors had done right and where they should or could have used a different approach. When I read that, I thought, "Oh, no!" (or words to that effect). How could I -- and why would I want to -- pass judgment on the experiences of all those authors when I've had no direct involvement in their encounters with organizational (or, in some cases, personal) change? The truth is I can't, nor do I want to. It doesn't fit with my philosophy of how people learn and change, and change is all about learning.
