What to do with the power of habits ?
The way of meeting our needs will deeply change our ways of working in the years to come. Plan to reorganize our mode of operation requires developing our managerial culture. Apparently, but in practice ? The majority of companies trying to adapt to new uses do not necessarily succeed. What is they missing ? One might think that strategic errors or a lack of investment are the cause. This is not necessarily the case. The main cause is often the inability to change habits formed for a long time.
What is a habit ? A habit is an action carried out automatically without reflection on our part. More than 40 % of our daily actions do not fall under real decisions, But just habits. This is why the change to adopt new behaviors often seems difficult and painful. How to get rid of it ? It is necessary to understand our habits to change them. Time and some efforts can allow us to reshape them :
-Identify the routine to replace the behavior we want to get rid of a new behavior.
-Determine the award that gives us real satisfaction, who will feed the new routine that we want to install.
-O isolate the signal to manage to determine why our habit is triggered (Identify the triggers of habits : the place, time, The emotional state, those present, The action preceding routine).
Understanding our loop of habit allows us to consider changing our behavior. In a BNI group, this is exactly what we do : by adopting a new routine, by providing for the signal and choosing a behavior that brings us the reward that we want.

Result : "small victories" that allow other habits to flourish, By thus establishing a culture where change becomes contagious.
-Creshing these key habits the simplest and specific possible.
-Itter the signals that feed the behaviors to be disappeared to remove them, minimize or anticipate them.
-S’A string to make the change attractive.
