Another crucial issue facing the field of organizational change is that of claims made by practitioners and, to some degree, researchers. Unfortunately, there are few descriptions of failures in the literature, but most practitioners and researchers know of at least several. Too often, those interested in the field, and prospective clients, are faced with the problem of exaggerated claims relative to the viability of organizational change methodologies. If the claims had been more realistic, would the field today have greater credibility in the eyes of prospective clients? Also, would there be more opportunities of learning how to change organization had the exaggerated claims not led to the demise of many projects? The authors have found high-level managers and administrators more willing to experiment when they were aware, prior to the beginning of a project, that untested interventions and methods were to the utilized.
