The '90s book about moving cheese gave people a reason to consider their personal reasons for Hem and Haw. Procrastination, fear, loss of control - all reasons why people don't want to change.
Sometimes, however, there are bigger impediments to why things can't change. Teams can try and try again on projects to get changes to work - and they just don't. Is this a failure?
No! Consider it a success of the unique components of the existing project. Somethings, and the cartoon genie said in Aladdin, are " ever impressive... often imitated, but never duplicated... Genie of the Lamp!"
Adults call it synergy; kids call it magic. Some things just seem magical, and adults could take a lesson from children on how to enjoy the imagination. When trying to implement cost savings, some of the creative process can be spoiled.
Take this literal case of spoiling: http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20150630-the-swedish-cheese-that-cant-be-moved - great product, but they wanted to try it in a different place. Reasons could be lowering personnel costs, political changes, cows wanted greener grass... whatever the reason, the wheel could not be recreated.
Consider it as a lesson that there are some unique things that shouldn't be moved. That gives you time to smell the roses and figure out what really needs your attention.
