How2-Change Reality Check

Our How2-Change Reality Check® is the solution to the problems of poorly understood Change programmes – which support statistics such as 70% of Change programmes failing and mismanagement of Change being the number one reason why CEOs lose their jobs. It’s designed to provide clarity on all the essential criteria – including scope, outcomes, timings, resources and financials. This contrasts with the approach of many consultancies that ‘land and expand’ to meet utilisation and account revenue growth targets.
