Why attempts at transformation into prevention fail

We continue these days presenting different documents related to the Vision Zero culture, which is the central theme of our VI Prevention Week.

Coinciding with the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, at Fraternidad-Muprespa we celebrate our VI Prevention Week with the objective of generating a preventive culture among our associated companies.

This year we celebrate our sixth edition with the motto:“In the face of workplace accidents, open your eyes. ACTIVATE VISION ZERO”, and in which we will try to achieve our objective of publicizing another way of approaching prevention, more effective and that improves competitiveness and productivity of companies. This new form of prevention will generate responsible thinking in mutual companies, based on the values of promoting the health of their workers, promoting a change in attitudes and consequently improving safety behavior.

Today we want to stop at the article titled Why transformation attempts fail by John P. Kotter, published in the Harvard Business Review magazine in 1995.

The article analyzes companies that have made changes and reinvented themselves as well as the efforts they carried out under various parameters such as total quality management, reengineering, workforce adjustment, restructuring, cultural change and transformation.

Some of these corporate change efforts have been successful and some were total failures although most fall somewhere in between. The lessons that can be drawn are interesting for any organization.
