2. Transforming Organizations
In a time when organic growth just won’t cut it, organizations
are increasingly growing through acquisitions or
reorganizations to accelerate business results. Whether the
goal is to gain a competitive edge, enter a new market or
jump-start long-term growth, all strategic company initiatives
entail organizational transformation. A recent Deloitte report
found that 84 percent1
of corporate executives anticipate a
sustained, if not accelerated, pace of M&A activity in the next
24 months.
However, while change is on the rise, the reality often falls
short with 70 percent2
of change initiatives failing to meet
their expectations. Expectations are high and yet, in an
environment where adaptability and agility can mean the
difference between success and failure, focusing on speed and
accuracy of the change process is vital to business success.
The faster organizations can see outcomes of potential
scenarios, the sooner they can realize their objectives.
The organizational change challenge
In a recent Accenture study, forty-four percent3
of respondents
were unsure about the capability and preparedness of
the business to manage change. Common issues relate to
inaccurate and disparate data, manual processes, dilution
of core competencies and workforce inefficiencies in a large
scale. As a process, organizational transformations support
the business strategies, while change management models
ensure the transformation occurs in a deliberate manner.
Hence, dedicated systems are essential to maximize the
workforce data and deliver the right information at the
right time.
But managing change doesn’t have to be so complicated.
By using the right tools, best-practices and processes,
it is possible to significantly increase transformation
success rates.
