This chapter deals with the question why many change programs bog down and what we can do about it. The chapter provides an overall picture of the dynamics of organizational change and learning, and the contemporary challenges that face the discipline of organizational change management. It is argued that many explanations of why change programs bog down concentrate too much on organizational and psychological aspects and entities, and pay too little attention to the change process itself. The underlying reasons why change programs bog down are sought in the behavior of different key players during change processes and the assumptions regarding organizational change on which the behavior of these actors is based. Insights from planned change and organizational development are discussed and change strategies are elaborated. An alternative is outlined in which dynamics in organizing and changing are looked upon as a source of renewal in the processes of self-organization and organizational sensemaking.
