A short spoken excerpt (YouTube talk) by Tim Davies exploring why change is hard to accept despite being constant. The speaker frames the problem as partly ego-driven—difficulty admitting current methods may not be best—and emphasizes that human behavior is the hardest implementation challenge, especially for product managers and IT professionals who deal with customers.

And change is the only constant. How do you get comfortable with it? It's a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it? Because if it's the only constant in theory, we should be comfortable with it because we're comfortable with things that are constant. Have you ever met anybody that is comfortable with things? Change is a difficult thing to get your head around for a few reasons. Firstly, accepting that the way you're doing something may not be the best way is a big thing. There's an ego part of that, and human behavior is the most difficult part of any implementation. Any product manager, any IT person who has to deal with customers will agree with that, that human behavior is the hardest thing.
