Why does change fail?

Whether you are adopting new strategies, outsourcing, merging, disposing or implementing, employees can be become far less productive during Organisational Change. As people are at the heart of any organisation, the cultural aspects of any change or transformation improvement must be catered for.

 Despite enthusiasm for the idea of successful change, very few companies are successful at implementing it, let alone achieving it. The top 7 reasons (as identified through research*) for change initiatives failing are listed below:

  • Lack of clear vision and goals
  • Companies being great at strategizing but poor at implementing
  • Inability to recognize the importance of culture & staff buy-in
  • Lack of defined and achievable milestones
  • Uncommitted and Ill-prepared Leaders
  • Not acknowledging how people feel they will fit in
  • Lack of communication, in particularly with the decision makers/stakeholders.
