Only 30% of change projects are successful – make sure your programmes are among the winners.
Overview
We all know the statistics – well over 50% of change programmes fail to achieve their objectives. And we do not seem to be getting any better. In fact change management guru, John Kotter has suggested only 30% of projects are successful – and that is 15 years after the publication of his formative book, Leading Change.
Kotter suggests that making change work requires even more focus on the eight steps in his methodology, but surely, given our lack of progress, that cannot be enough?
Attend this seminar to learn about, and discuss, what really makes change work. We will review Kotter, then discuss other perspectives and participants’ experiences. In fact, we will do as much as it is possible to do in one day to maximise the odds of participants’ own change programmes being successful.
