I have noticed that people and organizations sometimes go through a
process similar to the Stages of Grief.

Denial  - We will keep doing the same thing we have always done. This
does not apply to us.
Anger   - It's not fair! NO. NO. NO. I refuse to allocate resources to
this project.
Bargaining  - Can we do something different that does not require me
to change? Can this wait until I retire/next year's budget? Can we make
records management into a profit center?
Depression  - Why bother? We will get hit with spoliation sanctions
no matter what we do.
Acceptance  - OK I finally get it.  You are approved for that $50
million records management budget. 

Has anyone had a similar experience?
