Common change management efforts fail! Senior and middle-managers, who attempt to change their organizations, are offered a glut of analysis techniques that only provide short-term solutions. Many of those analysis techniques express that they supply the panacea of business solutions to both companies and organizations. They can't. Short-term solutions will not provide the required processes that tie into the organizational policy, the integrated follow-on processes, and later procedures without connecting management decisions throughout the whole of the enterprise. Unless those independent analysis tools offered affect continuous improvement and become part of the culture, focused on a concerted effort, the resources used are most often wasted as they fail to bring the results intended or needed. Unless companies learn how to customize change and continuous improvement for their industries, and in their individual environments, they are doomed to continually wrestle with their resources in their efforts to engage solutions that are critical to long-term and competitive successes.
