In our company, we usually start reacting when we are pressed by an unfolding crisis, rather than anticipate possible threat or opportunity and respond proactively. *

I regularly hear “We have always done it this way” and “That’s just the way we do it here” when discussing change at company meetings. *

In our company, leaders often justify their decisions using past experience as the main argument. For example, “Trust me, I’ve done it a million times” or “We tried it this way already, it will never work.”*

When we fail, our company often places blame on somebody on the outside (competitors, suppliers, government, consumers). *

In our organization, changes are made by a small group of people. Employees rarely get an opportunity to actively engage in developing and deciding on the new products, processes, and strategies - and learn about decisions at the time of rollout. *

I have not received any training or instruction for how to start and implement change in our company. I (and most likely many others) am not sure what the procedure is if I want to introduce change. *

There are significant gaps between what we say about our company’s commitment to change and how we actually work, allocate our resources, spend our time at meetings, award bonuses, etc.*

In our company, we do not welcome “practice rounds” or experimentations. Instead, we are expected to execute all change perfectly and are punished for mistakes and failures.*

During the process of change, we rarely stop to celebrate small or short-term wins. Often we feel demotivated and cannot see the progress we are making.*

The way our company is organized makes it difficult to react to change quickly. For example, our budgeting process is very bureaucratic, making it hard to introduce change in the middle of the year, or our production and investment decisions “lock” us into a product for years with no easy way to change.*
