All change please

I wonder sometimes whether change is good. We are starting to see the next round of transformational thinking in Gov IT. But the journey may not be worth it. The mentality that says what we have does not work so lets change it always perplexes me.

Any model can be done badly, any model well. So if you have a model in place and it is working badly then rather than looking at why it does not work and fixing it, change it. Seems daft to me.

If you can't make what you have work, then don't expect the new model to work either. The problem is not the model. Activity is not a substitute for thinking.
