This document discusses managing resistance to change. It notes that change efforts have a low success rate, with most studies finding around 30% of change initiatives succeeding. It then explores factors that shape social interactions and resistance to change, such as habits, culture, and triggers. The document advocates understanding change and people's reactions to it, preparing for change through models and assessments, and using triggers like new initiatives or processes to spark the desired change in a managed way. It emphasizes the importance of simplifying change and making it easy to adopt new behaviors.

Editor's Notes
It takes effort to think Our brains minimize effort Heuristics and biases shortcut the need to think We can’t easily overcome emotional responses with rational thought
Facilitate – make behaviour easier – simplify Spark – motivate behaviour (pull with insight) Signal – cue behaviour
