Introduction
By macroeconomic standards, a recession is defined as the contraction of the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country.

Many of those in government have leveraged on the change mantra to navigate their paths to leadership. In most cases, the desire to crystallize change is genuine. However to achieve positive results, they have to fix archaic legacy structures and processes, and eliminate counterproductive rules and regulations.

The expanded use of collaboration tools like social media is one example of a big and important culture change.
