UIP 63rd Annual Report 2012

«One should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things: for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies, and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new » – Niccolo Machiavelli

Change is uncomfortable, and adapting to change is difficult and messy. But even if in rail transportation the reality of yesterday proves to be wrong today, and nobody really knows what the truth for tomorrow will be, 2012 will be remembered as a year of empowering UIP’s structure and individuals to respond to the new challenges in our industry.
