The Secret Behind Successful Digital Change Management Programs

How is your transformation really going? 

Digital Transformation… The New Buzz Word

Since the turn of the century, and indeed, even in the decade before, all organisations could talk about was digital transformation. It has quickly become the buzzword of recent times; it has also become the ultimate source of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). As a company, you were either ‘doing’ your digital transformation, or planning it, or potentially doing both of these things while still trying to figure out what digital transformation really meant for you, or even if it was right.

In the midst of this frenzied activity, though, few have stopped to ask the most important question: how do you ensure your digital transformation actually succeeds?

On this point, there’s a little less buzz.

What Percentage of Digital Transformation Fail? 

A lot less, actually, if you care to acknowledge the fact that many digital transformations fail.

The number that fail is a point of controversy, and there’s a lot of harmful myths going around. Some sources claim that only 20% of transformations fail, but some say that as many as 95% do.

Regardless of where the numbers really lie, the most important question is: why?

Here at FDG Consulting, we’ve had the pleasure of working with many of Australia’s most complex and well-known organisations to try to uncover the reasons why this occurs. And in our many years in this field, we’ve discovered what we like to call the ‘secret’ behind successful digital change management programs.

And we’d like to share that secret with you here.
