This can spark a “complaint war.” Here’s why complaints don’t always work and sometimes backfire and make the situation worse.

One of the almost ubiquitous risks of any digital transformation initiative revolves around the legacy technology the project will either augment or replace. Existing solutions, particularly those that have been around for decades and have woven themselves into processes all over the enterprise, can be surprisingly sticky. Users may not sing an old system’s praises, but your project team could find that the staying power of a well-entrenched platform exceeds every expectation.

The closer we look at what other people believe and do, the more clear it is that our view of the world doesn’t precisely match theirs. It never has, but now it’s magnified. The things we thought were a given, aren’t. No one believes what I believe, not exactly. How is it possible, we wonder, that people like us don’t believe what we believe or do what we do?

The optic nerve dominates. It’s piped directly into our brains and uses a lot of processing power to help us discern the world through vision. As a result, it’s louder than our other senses and often outshouts the rest of our brain. That’s why it’s easy to be fooled by a magician. This focus on sight means that we often are at a loss on how to deal with things that are invisible.

Dogs bark. Cats meow. Fish swim. Birds fly. Other than a few exceptions, this is how the world works. If you try to get your cat to bark, you’re going to expend a lot of energy and be very disappointed. If you’re the “cat” and someone is trying to get you to “bark,” you’re not going to be very happy about it. If you’re the cat and you feel bad or even ashamed that you can’t bark, as if something is “wrong” with you, this is a sure path to self-esteem problems.
