Good companies and organizations can always
become better
Even the best of organizations can benefit from improved efficiency. Those that
do not change and keep up with technology and changing markets are doomed to problems and,
perhaps, failure.
Organizations resist change because people resist change. But that is a poor
reason to avoid the inevitable.
