Herrero, Leandro

Most conventional ‘change management’ programmes fail. This is mainly due to the fact that they are often based on wrong assumptions such as: . When we change the process/system, people will change their behaviour ; changes need to come from the top and filter down; big changes need big actions; cultural change is a painful, long-term process with no short-term results. All these assumptions are flawed.
