| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the notion of jumping the curve,following from Handy 's S-curve onto a new curve with new rules policies and procedures. It claims that the curve does not generally lie in wait but has to be invented by leadership. The focus of this paper is the identification (mathematically and inferentially) of that point in time, known as the cusp in catastrophe theory, when it is time to change: pro-actively, pre-actively or reactively. These three scenarios are addressed separately and discussed in terms of the relevance of each. | en_US |
