Why Most Transformations Fail – And How to Get Change Right

Change isn’t slowing down, and employees are already at capacity. Our new national study with The Harris Poll uncovers why most organizations struggle to make transformation stick, and what leaders and communicators can do differently to succeed.

The report addresses:

• The real limits of employee capacity for change, and what happens when organizations exceed it.
• The top risks facing leaders and communicators if change is poorly planned, sequenced, and communicated.
• Data-driven insights on the role of communication in reducing change fatigue and building engagement.
• Practical steps business leaders and senior communicators can take to turn change from a business risk into a competitive advantage.
