One of the buzzwords that are dominating the circles of management today is related to business transformation. Many organizations are keen to change their practices in line with the recommendations made by experts. Of course politicians will use this language to fool their electorate. In business the trend is very similar. There are billions of dollars spent on business consultants and yet the organization remains static. Some of the fundamental tasks within that organization are set aside for the purposes of building a consensus on new avenues for enterprise. This can cause friction.

Understanding Resistance in Business Transformation

It is not surprising that some employees are very resistant to business transformation process. They feel that this always ends up destroying their previously secure jobs. In some ways you can look at this phenomenon as some sort of commercial Tsunami. It does not leave any stone unturned and it is fully committed to ensuring that the business operatives are in a position to deliver on the promises that they have made. In due course some of the theories might turn out to be dubious at best. However employees are always worried that transformation will mean redundancy.
