Observations, frameworks and lessons drawn from real transformation projects. No marketing language. No buzzword bingo. What we read, think and experience in our work.
Organisational change often fails because the focus rests too heavily on processes and systems. The Prosci ADKAR model turns attention to what actually matters: the individual, and their personal journey through change.
John P. Kotter's eight-step model offers a proven structure for far-reaching organisational change. We examine its enduring strength and show where it reaches its limits.
Kurt Lewin's classic three-phase model is regarded as one of the foundations of modern change management. We analyse where this well-established framework still offers valuable orientation today and where it reaches its limits, particularly given the demands of agile and continuous transformation.
Organisations today face the challenge of developing continuously and finding new paths while keeping the core business stable. That balancing act only succeeds when change management, innovation management and keep management are strategically aligned.
The 70% failure rate of change projects is widely quoted, but its causes often stay in the dark. We look at where the figure comes from, what failure actually means, and what decisively separates the successful 30%.
