Can your leaders successfully implement the important changes required to execute your strategy?
Since the buck stops with you, it is imperative that you keep your company and your leadership team one step ahead of the competition.
In a world where nothing seems to stay the same for long, leaders constantly face resistance to the very changes that are required to meet targets.
To excel (and in some cases to survive), we believe that companies and leaders must have the capability to successfully navigate change. This is especially true for large change initiatives where the majority (up to 70% by most accounts) fail.
The typical list of culprits includes integrating mergers and acquisitions, reorganizing the business, executing new strategies, opening new markets, implementing new technologies, transitioning to new leadership, and handling regulatory and market changes.

For those who have been part of major change efforts, this should come as no surprise.
If you talk to leaders who have led major change initiatives, they will tell you that the technology, financials, and operational "stuff" sure feels easy compared to the people and culture "stuff" that seems to always get in the way.
Experts know that the "soft" stuff is the hard stuff when it comes to change.
