CORPORATE LIFECYCLES LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Stephen Phipps Corporate Lifecycles MD, Annapolis, MD Birmingham, MI 443. 875. 4161 Stephen@corplifemd. com www. corplifemd. com I learned almost everything I know about changing organizations from two sources. Firstly, Dr. Ichak Adizes, founder of the Adizes Institute and developer of the lifecycle theory that is at the core of our approach to organizational change. Secondly, from the many clients who openly shared their experiences, their successes and their struggles. Stephen Phipps Annapolis, MD Birmingham, MI 2016 © CORPORATE LIFECYCLES MD 2016 20
