Scott Anthony gives business a cold, hard dose of reality (via Forbes):
"Most efforts at transformation fail miserably. This unnerving and frustrating reality should not be a surprise--after years of pervasive 'continuous improvement' programs, executives are reaping what they have sown. Their organizations, from executives down through the rank and file, have been motivated and compensated to focus on incremental improvement, measured quarterly and annually, along competitive performance parameters established years earlier."
And even better as a zinger:
"Cultural change does not occur through PowerPoint."
