Addiction:
persistently engaging in compulsive behaviour which the addict knows to be harmful.

Puzzled why change—positive change that’s been proven to work—doesn’t stick to your organisation? Your organisation may be addicted to bad practice. And, overcoming addiction is hard. Really hard. But there are ways to do it.

Your organisation must escape the viscous cycle of soothing short term pain by using practices that provide measurable short-term relief, yet do nothing to address—even exacerbate—long-term problems. Soon the short-term pain relief wears off and the addicted organisation repeats the practice that produced short-term relief. Before long, your organisation is hooked. 

Can you support your organisation to get clean and stay clean? Yes. there are patterns for breaking this vicious addiction cycle.
