When we don’t manage change
effectively, we can expect:

• Lower productivity
• Passive and Active resistance
• Turnover of valued employees
• Disinterest in the current or future
state
• Arguing about the need for change
• Changes not fully implemented
• People finding work-arounds
• People revert to the old way of
doing things
• The change being totally scrapped
• Divides are created between ‘us’
and ‘them’
