Business transformation has become a popular aspiration. Companies want to do it and consultants want to help them. Transformation symbolises potential and growth; it enables businesses to embrace complex and difficult business challenges, with the successful ones emerging more resilient and more powerful. Transformation management\u00a0 is the coveted journey to continued higher performance and the basis for sustained competitive advantage.<\/p>\n
Only 30% of transformation programmes are successful. The failure rate suggests that it is incorrect for management to believe that a good communication plan and robust training are sufficient conditions for success. It is often the situation that the business case and benefits are not realised, and whilst the \u2019what\u2019 of the programme is understood, the \u2018how\u2018 and \u2018why\u2018 can be less clear.<\/p>\n
Successful transformation requires alignment throughout the business and the full and visible commitment of the leadership team. Best practice involves co-creation of the approach, self-selected engagement and involvement, and a culture of continuous change. The \u2018why\u2018 and \u2018how\u2018 are as important as the \u2018what\u2018. Our approach to managing transformations directly addresses this; it includes a suite of tools and techniques focused on ensuring that a transformation is set up and managed to maximise and speed up the benefits, while minimising risk and ensuring the change is sustainable.<\/p>\n
