First, a clarification

"70% of transformations fail" — the figure has no basis

You have read it everywhere. It opens half the decks in this industry. It has never rested on a measurement.

In 2011, Mark Hughes published a review in the Journal of Change Management of five sources that cite it. None rests on empirical data. The figure traces back to Reengineering the Corporation (1993) — and by 1995 Hammer himself was writing that there is no inherent failure rate for reengineering.

The confusion is simple in origin: surveys ask executives whether their transformation was "completely successful". About a third say yes. The remaining two thirds were then declared failures — when a large share had in fact answered "partly successful". "Not completely successful" is not "failed".

We do not use it. A firm that opens a proposal with a statistic whose provenance it has not checked is announcing the rigour it will bring to everything else. The useful question is not "how many fail" — it is "what, in your organisation, would make this particular transformation fragile".

Our Transformation offering

Three domains, nine interventions. They combine: an operating model redesigned without matching governance produces only an org chart, and an IT master plan without delivery capability remains a document.

  1. 01

    Strategy & Business Transformation

    Redefine what the organisation does, and how it is structured to do it.

    • Operating Model & Target Operating Model (TOM)
    • Organisation & Governance
    • Business Process Management (BPM)
  2. 02

    Digital Transformation

    Align the information system and ways of working with the business target.

    • IT master plan & digital roadmap
    • New ways of working and Value Framework
    • ERP & Core Business Solution
  3. 03

    Program & Project Delivery

    Hold the execution — the phase where transformations are lost.

    • Strategic PMO
    • Complex programme steering
    • Business analysis (AMOA)

Our approach

It brings together strategy, operating models, processes, governance, technology and change management — for a transformation that is controlled, durable and value-creating.

Digital transformation is not only a technological transformation. It is first a human one: of habits, of competition, of economic reality. That is why change management is not a work package at the end of a programme, but a dimension of every decision.

From defining the vision through to execution, we help our clients build organisations that are more agile, more effective and firmly turned towards the future.

Our method

Launch · Accelerate · Steer

The same method we apply to Data and AI programmes. Three movements, and a transition between them that is decided rather than drifted into.

  1. I

    Launch

    Diagnose, define the target, decide the scope. You leave this phase with a quantified trajectory and a named governance — not with an intention.

  2. II

    Accelerate

    Design and deploy: operating model, processes, systems, capability building. Milestones are decisions, against criteria set in advance.

  3. III

    Steer

    Embed: benefits measurement, adjustment, handover to the teams. A transformation still resting on its consultants after a year was not transferred — it was rented.
