6. The value of Workplace comes from
changing work, not implementing a tool.
Implementations fail when they fail to
support this change:
➔ The Wrong Strategy
➔ Create Barriers to Connection
➔ Fail to Encourage Sharing
➔ Discourage Work
➔ Don’t Leverage Innovation
➔ Don’t Measure and Celebrate
Success
WHY IMPLEMENTATION FAILS
