l Why is organizational change hard?
○ Traditional organizational change efforts focus on financials and integration of organizational structures and formal
processes.
○ This approach completely ignores informal aspects of organizations, such as organizational culture and peer-to-peer
communication. However informal processes are significant drivers of high performance and other positive outcomes.
○ Informal aspects of organizations may be discounted due to the difficulty of quantifying informal processes.
