Detailed explanation-1: -The metaphor of white-water rapids for change is much more powerful. It means that the process of change will be rough and need to be adjusted quickly. This metaphor is useful when big changes are needed, like when a business needs to quickly adapt to changes in the market or technology.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the “white-water rapids” metaphor of change, change is seen as an occasional disruption in the normal flow of events.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the “white-water rapids” metaphor, the organization is seen as a small raft navigating a raging river with uninterrupted white-water rapids. Change is a natural state and managing change is a continual process.
