When I think about the changes to the Queensland Building Act over the last ten years my head begins to spin. How much change can we deal with and keep track of it all? I'm then reminded there are other professions out there that have to deal with a lot more changes such as accountants and lawyers. Talk to an accountant about super and what date certain changes became applicable and you will realise we are not so bad off.
The best way to deal with changes is first deal with your attitude. Look at change as an opportunity. How will this help my business and customers. Attack the change early and be ready with new forms or training as soon as the change becomes applicable. The next is to track the change. Use a central document that the whole office can see and update this document as the changes occur. This quick record would be worth it's weight in gold.
I'm not saying we do this all the time at our work but if we don't we only have ourselves to blame
