We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.
Peter Drucker

People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete the obsolescent the things that should have worked but didn't the things that once were productive and no longer are.
