Change for Change's Sake

In this article Freek Vermeulen, Phanish Puranam and Ranjay Gulati talk about the downfalls of a business with little to no change.  By comparing an unchanging business to high cholesterol three major non-changing areas were discussed and ways to execute change were exhibited.  These areas include silos, repeated changes and over powering groups in a business.  Using different change techniques in a company and keeping departments a little uncomfortable keeps resources going to the areas that need it and productivity at high levels.  A business that is comfortable and unchanging is one that is not obtaining it's full potential.
