The day when we met the core committee member was very interesting. It was a bunch of 25 people ranging from executives to senior level managers. But there was one thing in common - the curious look on their face.We were introduced as specialists , I felt very nice and proud.My boss started the presentation with a brief overview of why we were there and the methodology that we are going to follow.
The curiosity in those people was worth seeing. Everybody wanted to know what is this new thing all about and how will it help them. That is when I realized that the reluctance to change is so high in the minds of these people. I will not blame them because it is normal human tendency to resist change and these people were doing it exactly the way it should be.
But by the end of the discussion the entropy (sorry for that, can’t help – I am an engineer) in their mind had reduced drastically and they were pretty much on the same platform as we were. There were few doubts here and there, which is obvious. These doubts are required also for us to understand the systems and processes of the organization in a better way.
