Change is A-Comin'
"The only constant is change." -Isaac Asimov
In Merge's eight-plus years, if there's one thing that's constant it's change. We've seen three new offices in three years, a totally revamped model, and today we're working on tweaking how we're organized internally.
This may give some people pause. "Do they know what they're doing? Why do they change so much? Are they to be trusted?"
A client of ours has a quote on their wall (and I paraphrase) “Our employees have the entrepreneurial spirit in which they embrace risk and change.” Merge flies the same banner. Team Merge knows that, if anything, change is constant.
Why? Helen Keller says it best, "Life is either a daring adventure, or it's nothing."
Innovation happens in a state of risk and change. This is where good things happen. Merge looks nothing like we did eight years ago and in 3 years we'll probably look nothing like we do now.
Or at least I hope so. Let's change.
Bottom Line: Change is good and it's necessary for innovation. If you want to get better, change.
