CHANGE
Embracing the Journey
2023 Year in Review
Letter from Leadership
In the ever-evolving business world, survival and success hinge on the ability to adapt and change. Throughout our history—as we moved from our modest origins as a small trucking company under the visionary leadership of Bill Watkins to create the expansive network that is Watkins Associated Industries today—we’ve embraced transformation at every turn. Our family foundation, Watkins Christian Foundation (WCF), shares this commitment to accepting and enacting change.
Introduction: Igniting Meaningful Change
We’ve all heard the saying that “change is the only constant in life.” And we all know that a constructive change can have a significant impact on the successful trajectory of an organization. Imagine what would happen if we could harness the power of change to create a positive impact on the world around us.
Areas of Change
Planning for the Future
Change often significantly impacts nonprofits, ultimately prompting them to reshape their strategies and operations to achieve overall effectiveness.
Supercharging Successful Change
Embracing change means recognizing that processes and operations must evolve in order to keep an organization’s mission alive and impactful.
Change and the Pivotal Role of Leadership
Organizations that thrive during change have one thing in common: adept leaders who engage relevant people every step of the way.
Sustaining Change
Sustained change requires an ongoing effort. That means not just initiating improvements but also ensuring they continue to yield positive results over time.
