Often we want improvements to work in certain way. When we
let other people do it their way there is a chance that they create something
that isn't perfect, hopefully it is functional, but what can we do about it?
If we have something looming in the background then we can
use their offering as a stepping stone to our final solution. We may not get it
100% identical, but 97% is surely better than a lack of implementation.
Their input into their solution increases their buy in to
the change. It's like the story of boiling a frog - if you do it slowly you can
boil the frog, if you go too quickly the frog jumps away.
Sometimes using multiple stepping stones is needed because people
may find change harder than we do. The key is finding tiny steps to take.
Stepping stones can sometimes be the only option we have.
