There is no end of possible forces which an IT organization faces every day. I'm sure going through the exercise of a force field analysis would be beneficial to all participants. It would reveal a great deal about the organization and level set against a known baseline. In consulting engagements, I often find that these headwinds conceptually operate as a tax which must be paid whenever trying to implement change. By identifying these components in a force field analysis, it would be possible to reduce the "tax rate" and become more efficient with the resources at hand. I like the force field analysis idea.

I wonder if "headwinds" forces can be mapped against other forces (e.g., prevailing currents, momentum) to help with a force field analysis. Where are we trying to go? What forces are impeding us and how can we attenuate them? What forces are assisting us, and how can we amplify them? I like the way your “Physics of IT” is shaping up.
