🔑 Why People Should Be the Starting Point in Transformation, not Process or Technology With over 80% of transformations failing, including those involving consultants, it's clear that the focus needs to shift. Too often, technology and process are placed at the forefront, but the real key to success lies in people. 🧑🤝🧑 People are the heart of every organization. Without their buy-in, the most advanced technology and the best-designed processes will fail to deliver. Transformation isn’t just about new tools—it's about adopting new ways of working, and that starts with engaging the workforce. ⚙️ Technology and processes should be enablers, not drivers. Focusing first on people creates a solid foundation for change, fostering adaptability, resilience, and innovation. When your people are aligned and supported, everything else falls into place. 📈 Want a transformation that succeeds? Start by listening to your people, understanding their challenges, and addressing their needs before implementing any new systems or processes. Our fitbiz360 online platform will enable you to do just that. #ChangeManagement #PeopleFirst #TransformationSuccess #BusinessLeadership #EmployeeEngagement #Alignment

🚀 Is the classic consulting model due for a rethink? 🤔 Many transformation and consulting projects rely on a model where strategy, technology, and process are given equal importance. But with transformation project failure rates exceeding 70%, should we really be dividing focus equally? It’s time to re-evaluate and consider whether a more people-centered approach is the key to success. #ChangeManagement #BusinessTransformation #Leadership #Consulting #Strategy #DigitalTransformation #PeopleFirst #TransformationSuccess #Innovation #BusinessGrowth #FutureOfWork

I recently came across a survey on Consulting Magazine (survey was by emergn), that revealed some interesting insights on the impact of working with top consultancies in transformation processes. Of the 51% of respondents who collaborated with three major consultancies, a staggering 87% felt that the experience had a negative impact or was not helpful at all. Only 13% reported a positive outcome, stating that the consultancies were more helpful than hindering. So fellow consultants, what's your reaction or response? #consultancies #transformation #partnerships

Monday morning thoughts for the day. Back to the MacLeod and Clarke "Engage for Success" Study. One of the 4 key pillars identified is "Strategic Narrative." This is very connected to Leadership, Management and Communication. It's about identifying the big picture, where the business has come from and more importantly where it's going and WHY. The people in the organisation need to be involved, stay involved and be helped to picture themselves in the desired, new landscape. It is an essential component not only for engagement, but also successful Transformation. How are you measuring the effectiveness of the Strategic Narrative? #fitbiz360 #transformation #change #leadership

Consultants, it’s clear that 70% failure rate for transformation should not be acceptable. It needs to be improved. Probably the biggest factor from our research is the people in the organisation. Not enough account is made of their current circumstances, support and attitudes. Without understanding them you are flying blind. Typically: Traditional way: 1. Underestimate the impact of people issues. 2. Failing to check or ignoring employee feedback and concerns. 3. Failing to prioritize employee involvement, well-being and overall culture. 4. Too much focus on strategy, process and technology at the expense of people New Way with FitBiz360: 1. Utilize data-driven insights to address people issues effectively. 2. Understand capacity and capability for change 3. Implementing modern people strategies based on industry best practices. 4. Actively tap into and act upon employee feedback. 5.
