Why this work matters

Three findings that explain why transformation programs stall.

Read in order. The first is the outcome, the second is the cause, and the third is the constraint that decides whether you can fix it. All figures are published third-party research and describe the market, not FT Consulting Partners results.

01 / THE PROBLEM
70%of large-scale transformation programs

Most transformation programs do not deliver what was approved.

Seven in ten large-scale programs miss the goals set out in the business case. The money is spent and the program is closed, but the operating result the board signed off never arrives.

Each block is 10 percent

7 of 10 programs fall short of their stated goals

02 / THE CAUSE
7×more likely to hit objectives

The strongest predictor is how well the people side is managed.

Prosci benchmarked change management effectiveness against project results. Programs with excellent change management were seven times more likely to meet objectives than those with poor change management. The gap is larger than any technology variable.

03 / THE CONSTRAINT
75%of job seekers

You cannot deliver transformation without the people to staff it.

Three in four candidates research an employer's reputation before they apply. If your employer brand is unclear, the roles a transformation depends on stay open longer and cost more to fill.

Services

Five practices. Strategy and delivery, or either on its own.

Approach

We agree the measures first, then stay until they move.

PHASE 01

Define the measure

Baseline the five readiness dimensions and agree what success looks like in numbers your board already reviews.

PHASE 02

Build with your teams

Work inside the organization rather than alongside it, so capability remains after the engagement closes.

PHASE 03

Deliver and stabilize

Implement through to the point where the new way of working holds without external support.

PHASE 04

Hand over

Documented, owned internally, with the agreed measures still reporting after handover.

Our credentials

Certified methodologies, applied by practitioners.

Engagements run against recognized standards rather than in-house frameworks, so your teams, auditors and programme office can follow the method.
