In which Aneel Lakhani discusses the difficulty of change, and successful methods for accomplishing it. How do you make drive change by rendering old habits, decisions, and identities obsolete by driving the adoption of new methods bound to specific contexts that are non-threatening? This is almost an outside-in approach to the situation, which focuses not on changing the person but creating new behaviors that back-lead to change, burying what was done before under what is done now.
