Identifying and overcoming roadblocks to organizational change
Change doesn’t come easy! There are no shortcuts
Organizations must change or else they’ll perish. And that change involves the entire organization. Yet, the biggest stumbling block is implementing it. This is where the change issue gets sticky, because there is no template-type solutions for making it happen.
Some organizations resist change so successfully, that by the time they act, the ship has left the harbor. More often than not, they fail to catch up.
Organizational roadblocks are biggest challenges that one needs to face when it comes to organizational change.
