What went Wrong ? ..was it Right in the first place !!!

The title is a reflection of one's sate of mind when things are going NOT as per plan ! we as learning individuals, teams or companies tend to think about many things relevant as well as irrelevant in a bid to try to peg down the reasons for failure & non-conformance.
but very seldom do we really question the basis of the very first assumptions of the plan itself. things will go right only if our assumptions are based on the right metrics in the first place.
it is always said why to change something which is working... in our bid to improve, reform and transform, we sometimes undo things which are reasonably doing well!(but not well enough)

In a green field project it is relatively easy as the slate is clean and the canvas is fresh .. you just go to paint as you please ...
but this changes dramatically when you are transforming something existant into something else.. the process is more painful, risky and more importantly decisions may have to be based on existing assumptions of the available information (irrespective of whether true or false)

I CAN GO ON WRITING ON THIS AND NOT REACH ANYWHERE .. GUYS n GALS,Need your thoughts to crystalize this one !!!!!
