- “The pace of business is accelerating, and companies must change in response. Yet 50-75% of change
programs fail. The time-tested fundamentals of change management—practices focusing on
leadership, employee engagement, governance, and executional rigor—remain as essential and
powerful as ever.”
- Reasons for so many failures:
o Lack of clearly defined and/or achievable milestones/objectives to measure progress.
o Lack of commitment by the senior management.
o Poor communication.
o Employee resistance.
o Insufficient funding.
