Changes, when are they a bad thing?

By Tracy McQuilkin

This past weekend I went and saw the latest installment of the Pirates of Caribbean films, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.  Before seeing the movie, I experienced a bit of hesitation because a majority of the main characters that have made the franchise such a success and that I have grown to love were not going to be appearing. I mean how can you have a Pirates of the Caribbean movie without the infamous, Will Turner?!  I overcame the lack of familiar characters and saw it anyways. Despite the major character changes, I proudly state that it was a really enjoyable film. The new characters brought something fresh to the table and breathed new life into the storyline, that frankly could’ve easily made the movie a bit redundant and bland. The set of new characters rejuvenated the storyline, setting it up for additional films. Filmmakers can continue to make Pirates of the Caribbean movies, bringing prolong entertainment to those, like myself, who enjoy it so much.

This recent screening had me thinking about what we do here at Answers Systems. Within the Settlement area alone, we make changes often but at the end of the day the goal is always how can we provide accurate and thorough data to our clients.  Many of the ideas we have for change come from the team members that do the work on a daily basis.  The changes we make bring new ideas, more depth and knowledge for our team members within our team.  It gives team members a chance to learn new things and succeed so they can promote within our company.  So next time a change happens, at the end of the day, the end results can yield to positive results.
