Whether you use the Boxing Day holiday to regift unwanted gifts or share your Christmas leftovers. We hope you are celebrating the day in its original sense with some small acts of kindness.

There is nothing we like more than creating fun change analogies. And what's more fun than change around Christmas time?

So let's take our friend Santa Claus. He's undergone quite a transformation from Saint Nicholas to St. Nick to the Santa Claus, we know today.

With agility, he transformed from a Christian bishop providing for people, children and sailors, to a "Jolly old elf" as described in the poem by CC Moore in 1822.

Since then, he's held with resilience onto his looks and only made small step-changes, such as the red suit with the white fur trim in 1881.

So what does this mean for Change Managers?

Well, just like Santa Claus has had to adapt over time to stay relevant, so do Change Managers.

- We need to be agile in our approach and constantly evolving our methods to meet the needs of our changing organisations.
- We need to be resilient when it comes to implementing change, making sure that we stick with it even when times are tough.
- We need to be wise in our decisions, always looking for ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Do you think that our kind, charitable bishop, Saint Nicholas who has become the Santa Claus we know today, is going through another major transformation?
