To tackle the problem in practice, six important questions should be addressed, constituting the "six layers of resistance to change". These questions can be used to trigger discussions
(Goldratt Institute 2001, 6):
(1) Has the right problem been identified? (2) Is this solution leading us in the right direction?

(3) Will the solution really solve the problems?

(4) What could go wrong with the solution? Are there any negative side-effects?

(5) Is this solution implementable?

(6) Are we all really up to this?
