“In this competitive world if we can do change better than everyone else we will win every time”

Boosting your chances of Change Success
We covered Change Success at my March Workshop – Here are some tips
Did you know that the average business is successful in Change only 33% of the time?
Change isn’t an event it’s a process so what can we do to improve our chances of achieving successful change?
A recent study of two hundred and forty business leaders form the UK, USA and Australia showed that Change Success is a function of Change Readiness (30%), Change Capability (40%) and Beliefs (30%). Mark your organisation out of 100. The exemplars achieved a score of 78%.
Here are just a few of the important areas identified that you may need to work on:
Readiness
- Have a clear vision and plan
- Having the right people in the right positions is critical
- Common methodology used for change
Capability
- Focus on bottom line performance
- Success is a return on investment not just turnover
- Success in the past does not predict future success
Beliefs
- Change starts at the top
- We are only as good as our customers
- Take a long term view
