Where Do You Stand on Change?

The Tour de France is changing in five directions at once — map your own relationship with each tension below.

Your arena

Name one area of your own life — work, study, sport, or a hobby — that is currently changing. Write one sentence describing what is happening right now.

Tradition vs reinvention

The Tour keeps its 100-year format but adds drones, data, and a women's race. Mark where you sit on this tension in your own arena.

Preserve everything

Reinvent everything

Spectacle vs analysis

The race is becoming data-rich for analytical fans but risks losing the emotional, visual spectacle. In your field, which matters more to you right now?

Pure emotion and spectacle

Pure data and analysis

Speed of change

Look back at steps 2 and 3 — does your position on both spectrums match the actual pace of change happening around you, or is there a gap? Mark the gap honestly.

Change is moving too slowly

Change is moving too fast

Why that word?
