      "heading": "The pull of what already exists",
      "point": "William Samuelson and Richard Zeckhauser (1988, Journal of Risk and Uncertainty) document status quo bias: presenting an option as the existing situation can favour its retention."

      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that well-managed change must necessarily simplify the organisation."

      "heading": "What the evidence cannot promise",
      "point": "Experimental tasks involving subtraction do not reproduce the interdependencies of a hospital, a wine-growing business or an energy operator."

      "heading": "A practical check in Sion",
      "point": "As part of SHR’s change management programme, an exercise applicable in Sion would be to examine an administrative step associated with a project in hydropower, healthcare, wine-growing or Alpine tourism, then check its function and the applicable obligations before removing it."
