"Fight Change" versus "Go with the flow"

Historically change has been difficult to accept for organizations. And everytime a change is initiated there are 2 parties involved one which believes that change is not good "we are fine the way we are we have been doing ok why change ?" then there other party which believes "something is not right, we have been having issues, slipped deadlines, missed deliverables.. we need to change the system to we can improve on this".

And then there is a third kind which tries to do both but reaches nowhere their stance "yeah there are certain things that can be done better we can change..but lets not rush ..lets not disturb anything for now..things are going good ." Well as much as this statement welcomes change it delays change as well.

When an organization sees few improvements, best practices, suggestions it should at least evaluate if those suggestions are good or not. Always looking for improvements makes an organization great. That is how an organization reaches CMMi level 5 by continously improving, looking at doing things better, not waiting for change to happen but affecting change, not being an instrument of change but a change agent.
