How does the process of organizational change happen?
Must change be initiated and driven through by one strong individual?
Or can it be tackled collectively by a powerfully connected group of people and, by sheer momentum, the change will happen? .
Are there pay-offs to understanding the whole system, determining how to change it, and predicting where resistance will occur?
On the other hand, maybe change cannot be planned at all. Something unpredictable could spark a change, which then spreads in a natural way.
Or is it possible that change happens differently in different contexts and cultures, and the key is to understand and stay aware of the context and system you are in?
