NB Repetitive Change Syndrome

In change, every new management fad offers an opportunity for even more change. This 'chasing the latest fad' results in starting too many projects which are unsuccessful. This wastes time and breeds a negative attitude to change, like cynicism. The resultant 'collective myopia' makes change more difficult the next time.
