ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Organizational change management can make or break an organization regardless of size.

According to McKinsey & Company 70% of all change initiatives fail because we’re creatures of habit and biologically hardwired to stick with what’s worked for us in the past. It’s not helpful when battling change going into the future, like a pandemic, shifting markets, supply chain challenges and a kitchen sink of other problems.
