info_outlineSPaMCAST 834 features our essay titled Battling The Walls Of Denial. The essay begins:
One of the problems change agents face is promoting change when individuals, teams, and even organizations fail to recognize how their behavior hurts them and therefore don’t see the need for change. In these circumstances, you often hear fatalistic rationalizations such as, “This is just how we always do it.” Or the equally problematic, “You just don’t understand; we are special.”
Just running away is not the only option.
We also have a visit from Jon M. Quigley (https://valuetransform.com/) and his Alpha and Omega of Product Development.
