Change Fatigue

How is change fatigue related to project intake decisions? A portfolio management colleague told me about an intriguing practice at her organization. Never-ending changes, even good ones, can batter people so much that productivity and well-being plummet. So her project prioritization criteria explicitly include change capacity. Project teams or user groups that have recently been through lots of change get a breather before yet another change project.  Change fatigue is real.
