● Change Behaviours○ We always do it like…○ This is the way my Granpappy taught me○ In a land far far away

● Change Interactions○ But Jim wouldn’t respond to my e-mail○ After I told him how wrong he was he didn’t seem interested in helping○ It must be a code issue

● Change Perceptions○ Operations let it go down again!○ The Development team write buggy code○ QA never tests it properly
