This isn’t how change works. This sounds like it advocates for transformation, which doesn’t work. Unless you’re saying change one thing WHILE also knowing you will have to change other things as well.
Honestly, it sounds like you should just buy a new car. Who drops a beefier engine, mid ownership, knowing they will need to change the entire system to compensate? That’s transformation. I’d rather just not have the beefier engine. If we have to change everything to get one benefit, it’s not a sustainable or worth while change. Because that’s not how humans are built for sustainable change.
Also…are we talking a v8 in a Camry? Cuz the Camry has no business having a v8.
In other words, change should absolutely be evolution. Over time. But we both know that Camry ain’t going anywhere with a v8 unless you completely change it to a Hellcat all at once. That’s just bad business. Be a Hellcat, sure, but it’s gonna take you months to get there. And that’s fine.
No. It's not a binary, as you imply. "Transformation" (which involves wholesale replacement of everything) never works in my experience. The organizational culture drags things back to the status quo. HOWEVER, changing only one thing rarely works, either. There's a middle ground, and order matters. You can't get rid of standups as long as people are working scatter-gather. However, if you introduce mobbing first, the need for a standup falls away. To introduce mobbing, however, you need to get rid of incentives for individual work and heroics. It's a complex system.

Fair enough.
