Ah, @soldiercrab I've just completed a degree unit on change management. Have a look at Kotter's 8 step method and we can see some obvious failings in the current approach. I think it is reasonable to view BCNA as a business and their success in the marketplace is vital for their survival and ultimately to our benefit
We've just heard the urgency argument--that there is a need to capitalize on an existing strength to differentiate BCNA from it's competitors.
#2 is Create a Powerful Coalition. You do this by getting key players on board. That doesn't seem to be going very well.
Without that support things can quickly move to #5 which is Remove Obstacles. Some businesses do this by just steamrolling over any dissenters. BCNA needs to be careful about that. The cat can get out of the bag if the discontented start co-opting outside support. Never good for a businesses reputation, particularly if part of their philosophy is inclusion and community representation.
Communicating the Vision gets a score of 20% from me.
It's a pity I've already completed the unit--this could be a very interesting case study.
