A decrease in negative stereotyping increases the chances of collaboration. So the achievement of the vision moves along.

Successful change is more fragile than we often think, or wish to think.

Change is often held in place solely by a guiding team, a central player in such a team… a compensation system, an organizational structure, initial enthusiasm… or even less.

Culture is a complex concept… it means the norms of behavior and the shared values in a group of people.

…most of the time, creating a new norm means that you need to change old ones that are deeply embedded.

…a new way of operating can remain fragile or can degenerate – unless specific actions are taken to deal with the problem.

…most of us assume the best and put much of our cynicism aside at the beginning of a new job.

By putting into positions of power people who have absorbed a new culture, you create an increasingly solid and stable foundation.

In a change effort, culture comes last, not first.

A culture truly changes only when a new way of operating has been shown to succeed over some minimum period of time.
