In a period of sustained change and uncertainty, successful organisations need to change and alter their behaviours and processes in order to stay ahead of the game. These changes can often be a seamless and painless process, however more often than not, the required changes have in-depth and far reaching implications for the organisation. The Harvard Business Review’s study on change found that, irrespective of business function, 91% of respondents had experienced a change initiative failure.
