- Knowing what you want to accomplish and creating a compelling vision that motivates others
- Understand stakeholders and communicating with them early, consistently and often
- Managing the varying levels of support and resistance that will inevitably emerge in response to any change
- Change Leadership is a skillset that is required throughout any deployment, from planning and executing to sustaining improvements.

Famous quotes containing the words business, analysis and/or techniques:
“Taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
