CHANGE AND IMPLEMENTING SOLUTIONS

             There are several key points that affect the relationship between
             change and implementation, and one of the first is how comfortable the
             group, individual, or organization is with how things are currently. One
             expert notes, "For change to occur, we need some discomfort with the way
             things are" (Simmerman, 2000). If participants are happy with the way
             things are, and do not perceive the need for problem solving, than they
             will be more resistant to change, and less likely to creatively pursue
             problem solving and implementation. Trust is also an important component
             to create change and eventual implementation of new solutions. Simmerman
             continues, "We also need to build some trust among the people and some
             support among the team. If there is an individual history of failure,
             individuals are less likely to want to take risks -- and change seems risky
             for many" (Simmerman, 2000). If there is resistance to change, then the
             projects may seem even more risky, and they may never be implemented.
             Another key to successful implementation while conquering the fear of
             change is involving everyone in the process. "Ownership" is extremely
             important for most people to feel more involved in problem solving. If
             they do not perceive the problem relates to them or their well being
             somehow, they will be less likely to take on the project and make it
             successful. Simmerman says, "Do things WITH people rather than TO them [â€]
             and have them leave with a sense of teamwork and collaboration, with some
             specific ideas about what they can do differently, and with a bit of follow-
             up about the results that they obtained" (Simmerman, 2000). Clearly, all
             of these methods relate to change, and the fear of change, and how to
             Organizational subsystems are also a key ingredient in implementing
             successful solutions. If these subsystems are healthy and viable, they are
