I’m quite an optimist at times, but it’s not easy to change corporate culture. It takes a lot of effort to change. Sometimes all it can take is one team changing things and demonstrating the benefit, then a VP takes notice and sends out an edict from on high “We’re all changing!”. If there is no one hands on to facilitate the change, then it will fail. Some teams will bulk at the change, it needs to come from within to really be effective.
