Change is the new Norm. Post COVID, the world of business has been forced into further change and whether impacted positively or negatively, most businesses have a change agenda. So here is the conundrum organisations must grapple with – how to deliver change and transformation in a timely, cost effective way when there is a lack of skills and experience in the business to successfully deliver that change.
For many Clients, having reluctantly accepted the need for external help, they call in a top consultancy. Most will go on to tell of eye watering costs, how the project over ran or did not go to plan, poor execution/implementation, lack of expertise etc. Sound familiar?
Such failures were evidenced by McKinsey who found that 70% of all change programmes fail (Why do most Transformations Fail: McKinsey, 2019). But why is this? We believe it is down to poor planning, poor execution and, most importantly, the wrong people delivering.
