Arora is the original developer of Theory ZYX.
He is also the author of
the book Theory ZYX – A Definitive Guide to Reach the Next
Level.
The United
States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Nigam Arora 26 patent claims on Theory ZYX.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Upon concluding that no rigorous analytical
methodology existed to help him successfully create
and manage change in one of his ventures, he rolled up his
sleeves and plunged into action. Thus, Theory ZYX of
Successful Change Management

change management based on his extensive
change experience in business, operations, and technology.
The ZYX Change Method

fundamental models as well as implementing gray boxes*
to execute the models in a variety of market conditions.
Since
2007, Nigam has been illustrating the power of the ZYX Change
Method by providing concise actionable calls on this site.

concise about the trigger event which is one of the six
screens of the ZYX Change Method.
