A study found that only 25% of change management initiatives are successful long-term, despite 55% meeting initial objectives. While organizations train managers in change management, only 22% find the training effective. Support for changes decreases from senior managers to middle managers to front-line supervisors. Successful change requires buy-in from employees, effective communication, and anchoring changes into the organizational culture long-term. Many change efforts fail due to lack of communication, not following the change plan, choosing the wrong goals, not gaining enough support from employees, making changes too complex, or declaring victory too soon.
