TOPIC: The CMM Flu and the Prescription for It
The CMM Flu
affects many organizations at some point during their CMM journey. Lack of
organizational change management provides a fertile breeding ground for viruses
to breed and sap constancy of purpose. Three major varieties of CMM Flu have
been identified:
1) the common cold, which saps organization strength and commitment (everything
just slows down)
2) the classic flu (organization loses focus and not all parts work well
together)
3) the Blue Flu (people just stop playing and no one will say why).
The presentation uses humor to examine the CMM Flu, its variants, and
organizational change with prescriptions for success.
