When the Key Change is not The Key Change.

Strategic Simplicity® is all about identifying the key change or priority to get the most important result for your business or personal goals.

But, sometimes, the Key Change is NOT the key change for right now. If the Key Change generates resistance or has a low chance of success, then there may be a First Key Change. Doing this first might prove the concept, and/or increase the odds of the Key Change.

For example, developing a new software system may be a key change that speeds up your manufacturing process. But, if you feel that you'll only have 45% of success because of the state of your project management organization, and fixing that would raise the changes to perhaps 75%, then fixing your project management is the key change for right now.
