Effects of Not Adapting to Change Think about a situation that requires a change; for example: a new system implemented at work, a new product being offered, a shift in an organisation's culture or strategy, new policies being executed, etc. If you do not adapt to this change, how will it affect the following: 1. You in your capacity within the organisation? 2. Your team, department or division? 3. Your organisation? 4. Your external environment?
