State five reasons when change should not be made
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include points such as:
The knowledge, skill, or other resources needed to carry out the change effectively do not exist inside the department.
An appropriately experienced external change agent is not presently available.
The effort of making the change is greater than any benefits to be derived.
Collateral damage, such as abandonment by key supporters or significant union opposition, may lead chiefs to use their limited stack of "political chips" on another issue of greater concern to them or the community.
Too much change is already underway in the department and the nature of the change is not sufficiently important to make now versus its potential for personnel to feel confused about priorities or conclude that the organization is becoming unstable.
