So why do 70% of ALL organisational change management initiatives fail to deliver the promised benefits? Why such a high failure rate? And how can you avoid it?
The only certainty is that there is no certainty. This means change. Forced change. Reactive change. Planned change. Now - getting it right is business critical.
The overwhelming issue...
Consider what Michael Hammer, co-author of "Re-engineering the Corporation", has said about the people issues:
"I don't regret saying anything [in the book]; it's more what I left out. In particular, the human side is much harder than the technology side and harder than the process side. It's the overwhelming issue."
Closely allied to that reason is the lack of leadership and the lack of process to directly address the human aspects of change.
It's all about people... and processes that work for people
My intention with this website is to give you the broad strategies for managing change, and a specific practitioners masterclass in leading your people through change, putting it all together and managing the whole messy business.
All this to ensure that you DO succeed and DON'T become part of the 70% of failures.
But first let me introduce myself.
My name is Stephen Warrilow. I'm based in Bristol, and I work with companies across the UK providing specialist support for directors delivering significant change initiatives.
I have 25 years cross-sector experience with 100 + companies as an independent resource to directors and senior management in corporate, mid range corporate, SME and OMB environments.
