Leading Change: Choosing the Right Change

Corporate transformations still have a miserable success rate, even though scholars and consultants have significantly improved our understanding of how they work. Studies consistently report that about three-quarters of change efforts flop – either they fail to deliver the anticipated benefits or they are abandoned entirely.

Poor execution is only part of the problem; analysis suggests that misdiagnosis is equally to blame. Often organizations pursue the wrong changes – especially in complex and fast-moving environments, where decisions about what to transform in order to remain competitive can be hasty or misguided.
