         Making Change Last                 Pitfalls
TB Change teams can potentially derail because of ten classic
implementation pitfalls:
•  underestimating the time
•
•  unexpected problems
•
•  poorly coordinated activities
•
•  competing distractions
•
•  inadequate capabilities/skills of employees
•
•  lack of support for the initiative
•
•  unclear goals and objectives
•
•  lack of involvement of Change Targets
•
•  dismissing complaints outright
•  uncontrollable externalities (Life Happens)
To avoid pitfalls, change initiatives must be a series of commitments instead of “assignments”
