Abstract: Business modelling methods most often model an organization’s value provision to its customers followed by the activities and structure necessary to deliver this value. These activities and structure are seen as infinitely malleable; they can be specified and engineered at will. This is hardly in line with what even laymen can observe of organizations, that they are not easy to change and that their behaviour often is not directly centred on providing value to customers. We propose an alternative view in which organizations exist by maintaining stable states that correspond to their identity. We analyse how these states are maintained through homeostasis, the maintenance of ones identity. Homeostasis helps to explain both the inability of organizations to provide maximum value to their customers and their reluctance to change. From this point of view, resistance to change is not something to fight or to ignore but an essential force behind organizational behaviour that can be built u pon for creating adequate strategies.
