Business Transformation

Today's businesses face an environment in which the pace of change is both unprecedented and relentless. The successful management and delivery of business change, whether it is business process re-engineering, organisational redesign, top-line growth or cost reduction, is critical to achieving increased customer and shareholder value. As the nature and scale of change is becoming ever more complex, the ability to deliver change effectively is increasingly essential. The key is ensuring that the transformation is driven to the point where it delivers the anticipated business benefits.

Unfortunately, the indisputable truth is that 70% of change programmes fail to deliver the anticipated business benefits. Potential reasons include:

• little or no clarity of purpose and structure, with transformation programmes becoming a catch-all umbrella for pet initiatives to hide under
• a lack of the necessary management disciplines applied to other types of programmes, such as IT initiatives, not always being applied to change programmes ensuring failure from the beginning
• business leaders are often over-ambitious and fail to manage the scope of the transformation, thus compromising benefits.
