Bureaucratic inertia refers to the inclination of administrative organizations to maintain established procedures and policies, despite changes in circumstances or customer needs. The term is often used to criticize governmental or bureaucratic structures for being inefficient and unresponsive. However, there are other phrases that can convey similar concepts, such as bureaucratic resistance, institutional rigidity, bureaucratic stasis, organizational paralysis or bureaucratic sluggishness. All these expressions highlight the same issue - the incapacity of administrative structures to adjust to new requirements, leading to delays, red tape and wasted resources. Breaking down bureaucratic inertia is a challenge that requires proactive management and dynamism.
