Is Your Change Management Approach Keeping Pace with Digital?
World class change management of 10 years ago won’t cut it today—here’s why.
Despite all the investments, organizational change initiatives have a spotty record (evidence indicates that 50% of change programs fail to achieve their objectives; the failure rate increases to 75% for more complex programs). Indeed, the traditional approach to change management is itself in need of change.
And executives need to understand the stumbling blocks that cause transformation efforts to fail. In global surveys, two factors are increasingly recognized as the leading causes of failure:
Success requires overcoming these challenges head-on, through a comprehensive and structured change effort that includes the right mix of processes, governance, metrics, and behaviors.
Moreover, building superior and lasting change capabilities has become a competitive advantage. Companies that are ready, willing, and able to face the challenges of change initiatives are better equipped to manage new changes over time.
A lack of clearly defined milestones and a lack of or insufficient commitment by senior management have increasingly become recognized as the leading causes of failed change initiatives.
