If change is the only guarantee in life, why is it so hard to do? As this book points out, people are not so much resistant to change itself as they are to being changed. Mary Lynn and Linda have successfully used the pattern form to capture and present the recurring lessons of successful change efforts and have placed a powerful knowledge resource in the hands of their readers.
Alan O'Callaghan, researcher, Software Technology Research Laboratory, De Montfort University, United Kingdom

The most difficult part of absorbing patterns, or any technology, into an organization is overcoming the people issues.
