Why People Resist Change
1. They don’t understand why it’s needed.
2. They weren’t involved.
3. It’s a “change” vs. true improvement.

In Summary…
• Use well-designed charters.
• Socialize the charters.
• Use robust problem solving (PDSA) to make true improvement.
• Involve the people who do the work being improved (or who work in the environment being improved).
– Include upstream suppliers and downstream customers.
• Hold periodic briefings.
