In organizations things go wrong; plans fail to deliver, change strategies fail, customers complain, competitors produce new and cheaper products, you lose market share, people make poor decisions, staff morale lowers…the list is endless.
Problems arise from multiple sources. Things happen to us that we see as problems. We create problems for ourselves. Other people give us problems. And so on.
