Do you believe that is normal? Challenging project/organizational governance is not uncommon. But the challenges are increasing as management articles profess the benefits of disruption and then present the business successes that followed. Under these circumstances, readers are more encouraged to upset the status quo even if there is no problem to solve in the business model.
What is the best way to handle these types of attacks? Disruption may be arbitrary but in the business domain it must be measured against the confidence it will produce the intended business results. Modifying business models, processes and procedures is a structured and on-going managerial action in an effective Quality Management System. The Disruption action must include an evaluation of the impacts to the core business goals that may be affected. When this type managerial action is valued in the corporate/PMO culture, business leaders need to equally encourage novice employees and future managers to consider the consequences to the business from Disruption not just the potential benefit from well-intended initiatives.

Don't break existing models, just bend a little at a time as Kiron suggests. Introduce new models and try them out to get consensus. Then your merely expanding your model toolbox, more to choose from. Saving Changes...

Transformation is a continues process. New ideas must be incorporated by following a systematic validation process.
