overall goal.

Barriers of Change:1. Perception Barriers:• Stereotypes in analysis: We see what

we expect to see.

• Difficulties to identify the real cause of the problem.

• Too narrow scope of the problem and focus on particular aspects only. (incomplete information).

Barriers of Change:

2. Emotional Barriers:• Risk-aversion:

fear to fail or to make mistake. People are afraid of the unknown.

• Normally people find it much easier to come up with reasons for rejecting an idea than with reasons than supporting new idea.

• Not taking time for thinking: people feel under pressure to deliver results quickly.
