Post 19 - A Successful Organisational Transformation

I was reading this article on the fact that so many organisational transformations fail and why the ones that do succeed do so. I thought I would mention a point or two about a successful transformation.

As you you are aware of the many transformations going on around us in the world; especially in the tech industry, you can understand and appreciate the importance of  the need for transformation.

If anything, the need for organisational transformation has never been in higher demand do to the fierce competition in today's global economy. 

Now the question we should ask ourselves is; how can we make successful changes that will bring about increased value to an organisation.  

Do you think there's such thing as a quick win?

I believe, that there is no such thing; action plans need to be taken to fix problems. According to the article also we discover that every successful transformation identified a keystone change which had a clear and tangible goal, it involved multiple stakeholders and paved the way for greater change down the road. 

My studies have taught me that when goals aren't clear or tangible, it becomes very difficult to measure results. I have also seen this through practical experience that there has to be a tangible goal for whatever transformation being implemented by the organisation; otherwise expect failure.

Another important cause of organisational failure I discovered is that resistance from within the organisation should be anticipated and accounted for. Furthermore, it is upon the organisation to have a concrete plan to overcome these resistances.

I believe that efforts such as these can lead to the minimization of  a transformation failure. 

The article also mentions some other reasons for failure.
