There are certainly situations in which things have taken a wrong turn or where the risk is hight that wrong turns are about to be taken. These situations typically have in common that there are (too) many areas in the organization where people work against each other. Reasons for this can be interpersonal conflicts, diverging interests or a team structure that doesn't fit. In such situations it's important to clearly point out what needs to change (internally) before starting any major change project.
