REPLY Society Strategy Development (SD7081)

I find the Wehrenberg statements to be an incredibly compelling argument 
as to the fundamental nature of human beings (and their subsequent 
organizations) and the source of change resistance.  If I may add my two 
cents:    

One key aspect of human nature to remember is that by nature, we are 
incredibly adaptive (i.e. innovative).  This may be why the old axiom of 
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" continues to hold true.  Thus, only 
when "it" breaks does it merit attention (i.e. root cause analysis).  

Only when people begin to focus towards an ANTICIPATORY reality, will 
they transition from the traditional REACTIONARY state of mind. 

Best regards,

Justin Jagger
