The
Wind of Change
is created by innovation leaders, cheered by adventurous followers,
and
resisted by all others: target beneficiaries, competitors, deep
rooted practices, established ties, robust structures and their
inhabitants.
Be optimistic, but not naïve.
Launching a
radical innovation /
change project without playing a
simulation game, such as Innoball, is like starting a football game
naively believing that the opposing team does not exist.
But it does
exist. The change you initiate creates discomfort and threat for
them, so they’re going to fight back and are not going to yield
easily. Why should they allow you succeed at their expense?
