"an inspiring or urgent reason to change"

"When you create something yourself, you feel ownership of it, and once you own it, you might care enough to improve it. You can say the same thing about teams that create their work process: They feel ownership of their approach, which makes them take responsibility for improving it. Once teams discover and learn what works for them, they can share that learning with other teams across the organization. This process of lateral learning enables the organization to discover which changes it needs to make to build a model that works in its context.

...

Successfully bringing agility into an organization is a journey of discovery and learning. There is no fixed end-state when you can say, "The transformation is done." Instead, the end-state is a dynamic one, in which new insights are continually used to improve the product, processes, and organizational design.

...

Having an inspiring or urgent reason to change is a precondition for a successful transformation. Without it, the chances of lasting change are slim. After all, why would we change if all is running perfectly? Once the reason is there, then the hard work begins."
