Week 4 Discussion 2

Organizational change is not always successful.  Identify factors that can cause change initiatives to fail and the five pillars that can cause them to succeed.  Highlight an organization that failed to adapt and evaluate which of these factors and pillars were demonstrated by this organization.  Review several of your peers’ posts.  Discuss any similar or opposing perspectives you have, with at least two of your peers.  Take care to be professional and polite even if your beliefs or viewpoints differ.

Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
