Research Report
Make change stick:
Why 79% of transformations stall on paper and how high-performing organizations turn strategy into everyday execution
About the Research
Transformation is no longer a periodic event, it’s the permanent condition of modern business. Yet across global enterprises, major change initiatives continue to face a familiar challenge: roadmaps launch on schedule, but long-term value fails to embed.
Based on an independent global study of 800 senior business, transformation and HR leaders, this report investigates the unseen frictions that cause change programs to stall.
It demonstrates that while technology provides the capability for change, long-term success relies on the behavioral adoption of the people expected to deliver it.

“Successful change cannot be mandated from the top down, it requires your people - especially middle managers who are equipped to translate strategic intent into local team habits. The findings of this research are a solid contribution to our understanding of the specific behavioral capabilities needed to make organizational change stick.”
