Why is change difficult or is it easy?

People make it a science. People make theories about it. But it is not only about motivation and desire? Conviction? Dialogue? Here is my opinion!

In fact 3 critical points are necessary to make any change effort successful:

1) Benefits, risks and rewards must be clear for all parties

A win/win deal will ensure all parties pull the same strings.

2) Capabilities like experience, skills and expertise are a prerequisite for success

All too often the change agents do not have the necessary skills, experience and expertise. How can you implement a tool you do not master in a language you do not master when trying for the first time to manage a project?

3) Most important is to have will power to walk the talk
