When NOT to change

Another question
If it's not broken, should it be broken anyway? I heard a very influential leader state that his organization does this every 2-3 years. Which meant even changing staff and eliminating programs. Not because they didn't work, but to avoid stagnation.
At first blush I contend that seems harsh because people depend on their job and providing for their families just to have things changed on them fairly regularly.
But I thought this. If that's the pattern when is it ok NOT to change? What's the deciding factor? Boredom? Fear of irrelevance? I think the question needs to be answered simply What is God's assignment for us? That is the test to apply to them ask about the need to change or not. 
How have you encountered the need to change programs etc or not to change with an organization or business?
