IMPLEMENTATION STEPS

FAILURETOIMPLEMENT

The biggest obstacle to progress…

By nature, people are resistant to change.

To overcome resistance we must first understand some of the reasons for resistance.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” - George Bernard Shaw

Some reasons why people resist change…

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

• Previous experience with failed change efforts

• Perceived personal loss or gain (financial, time, free will)

• Current culture/beliefs (they don’t change until their experiences do)

• Threat of the loss of position, power or control

• Threat of increased workload at the same wage

• Fear of the unknown or failure• Lack of participation in the change• Poor communication of the case for

change• Lack of tools, resources or training• Do not want to be accountable for

their actions• Cynical or skeptical of other

peoples motives for change
