Barriers to Change
Fear of failure (reward structures that penalize failure)
Executive turnover before innovation can occur
Organizational structures (endless approvals)
Highly structured decision making and analysis systems
Work force skills and expertise (reinforces today)
Customers, suppliers and all the others change might upset
Other programs (we’re doing it!)
Fear of unexpected outcomes
Focus on marginal existing business units (robs leeway for change)
Success (don’t upset the apple cart)
