Resistance to change : the organisation dimension
Stonehouse, DP
Authors
Abstract
The author will examine how change within an organisation can
be faced with resistance from the organisation itself. By ‘the
organisation’ we do not mean the physical building, hospital or
even trust, but more the culture, policies and procedures—and
the senior staff who facilitate the running of the business. When
change is identified as necessary or desirable by those on the
ground, it is hard to accept why it is not embraced further up the
organisation. Understanding how and why resistance can build
up will help support staff to understand the issues and solve the
problems, thereby not giving up on delivering successful change.
