Organization Change Management

 

Client Need

Organizations are making changes more rapidly than ever before – by necessity.  Competition and customers are forcing changes to:

  • strategy and tactics
  • processes and the way people perform their work
  • systems, tools and technology
  • products and their functions and features
  • and even more broadly culture

For successful change that delivers the desired results, organizations realize the importance of using organizational change management approaches.  Typically, only 30% of change projects succeed to achieve the desired business objectives.  As a result, those change initiatives are costly in many ways – in actual dollars, in distracting the organization from other worthwhile initiatives, in deflating employee interest and morale, and loss of competitive advantage.  Change managers are best used from the beginning of a change project, but may also be used in a post project attempt to recover business benefits that were not successfully captured in the initial effort.

 

Change Facts

  1. Change initiatives crucial to organizational success fail 70% of the time according to IBM, McKinsey et al

  2. 75% of managers were unhappy with change initiatives underway according to Harvard Business Review article by Nohia and Berkley

  3. I have watched more than 100 companies try to remake themselves… a few of these corporate change efforts have been very successful.  A few have been utter failures.  Most fall somewhere in between, with a distinct tilt toward the lower end of the scale, according to John Kotter in Harvard
