(lyrics from the song "wind of change" by The Scorpions) :
a phrase meaning: to be clever enough to (correctly) detect and/or predict patterns of future social change in one's society, and adapt to said patterns before most other people around you.

during the 2016 presidential election campaign most higher ups in the democratic party didnt start listening to the winds of change until it was too late, but instead focused on perpetuating obama's legacy; no wonder they lost the election.

Get the Chang mug.The people who talk about wanting change often dont usually talk about a stock market crash, they make it sound like all change is a good thing, even if the country was in good shape without change, and didn't need it. Usually they really want everyone else to put up with what they want done differently.

Get the Change mug.When someone within the non-IT practicing part of an organisation documents a constructive idea he or she has with respect to the correctness, functionality or performance of a software or system, then duly files that ("the Change Request", "the CR") in the agreed ticketing system for someone with a distinct responsibility for the development and continuous improvement of that software or system to incorporate and implement in the software or system, and hoping that it will eventually be handled and delivered, only to finally conclude that the CR process is nothing but a self-service trash for important and relevant ideas that no-one within IT will in fact ever lift a hand to service.
That's a very good idea! We understand what you are missing. Yes, that would be great. So that we don't forget about it, could you please file a change request in <name of CR system> and we will plan it for a future release.
