本文认为，许多下一个步骤机构已被迫着手进行深远的战略变革计划，试图满足外部强加的要求，提高效率和效益的水平。然而，似乎整个变革进程的管理一直存在问题，其特点是以一系列脱节的组织倡议形式出现的解体。集中在一个下一步机构的经验，有人认为，问题的根本原因可能在于严格遵守一个过时的价值体系，象征着效忠“阿波罗”希腊秩序之神。因此，为了在政府机构内部实现成功的战略变革，建议他们必须首先寻求培养对希腊神“宙斯”形式的新的和更有活力的人物的忠诚。
This paper argues that many Next Steps agencies have been forced to embark upon far reaching programmes of strategic change in an attempt to satisfy externally imposed demands for enhanced levels of efficiency and effectiveness. However, it would seem that the management of the entire change process has been problematic, and has been characterised by disintegration in the form of a series of disjointed organisational initiatives. Focusing upon the experience of one Next Steps agency, it is argued that a root cause of the problem may lie in a rigid adherence to an outmoded value system symbolised by allegiance to ‘Apollo’ the Greek god of order. Thus, to effect successful strategic change within government agencies it is suggested that they must, in the first instance, seek to foster allegiance to a new and more dynamic figure in the form of the Greek god ‘Zeus’.
