How Transform positions itself as a leading change management partner

30 January 2025 Consultancy-me.com

In today’s fast-paced business environment, change is not just a one-off event – it’s a continuous process. And with around 70% of change initiatives failing due to poor execution, successfully embedding change is not just an add-on to transformation programs – it requires an integrated approach, deep expertise, and expert guidance.

Whether driven by market shifts, digital transformation, leadership transitions, or cultural evolution, organizations are continuously challenged to navigate complexity. That in turn means that for many organizations, change is a (near) constant.

However, the reality is that most change initiatives are not managed in the right manner, with research from Harvard Business School for instance finding that over 7 in 10 change initiatives fail to meet their pre-defined objectives. Without the right methodology and expertise, change efforts can become fragmented, short-lived, or outright fail.

A lack of strategic alignment, poor execution, employee resistance, and change fatigue are among the long list of factors which can derail change initiatives.

On the flip side, research also shows that providing a structured, human-centered approach to transformations can ensure long-term impact. By embedding change management as an integral part of transitions, people at all levels – from senior leadership to those on the workfloor – can be aligned, supportive and committed to the change goals, which underpin overarching strategic goals.
