You are all excited about the results and business improvements you are going to achieve as you implement your first process change or embark on the development of a new market. As you move down the road things do not seem to be happening the way you thought they would. What went wrong?
To avoid the bumps - opportunities for failure - you need to know what to watch out for and when to take action. There are five major reasons that Change Drivers fail due to the business infrastructure. Please look at these areas carefully because they will be some of the most difficult obstacles to overcome on your road to Leadership and Lean Practices! They must be dealt with head-on and may require a change in your business culture, procedures, IT, and information dissemination, etc. Look at how these areas will affect the possible outcome of your Change Process or Organizational Innovation Process.
Remember: Failure is not an option!
Failure could mean the loss of your competitive edge, revenue losses, etc. It must be avoided and the only way to avoid it is with an open, enlightened environment of collaborative personnel at all levels.

Every organization has a vast amount of knowledge about their processes, products, and customers. Keep that in mind as you look at the five most common reasons for failure for Change Drivers within the business infrastructure: (O'Sullivan, 2002)
- Drivers for Organizational Innovation
- Causes of failure for Change Drivers within the Change Driver Process
- Example of a corporate Quality issue and suggested leadership approach
