I lived through the devolution of a work environment that went from one of teamwork and collaboration to a command and control, blame casting one. As I read, I had flashbacks -- some good, plenty negative.
I also kept thinking about how companies pay millions for software to enhance productivity and then scrimp and save pennies on the back-end by not paying with both time and money to implement a change management strategy.
Given that 70% of IT projects fail to deliver full projected value, if not outright fail, this has made zero sense to me for the 30 years I've covered or written about the IT field.

I have a very similar experience—sadly...and still can't make any sense out of that approach!
