Where there is a major change there will be complexity and risk, many interdependencies to manage and conflicting priorities to resolve. Experience shows that organisations are likely to fail to deliver change successfully where:
- There is insufficient board-level support
- Leadership is weak
- There are unrealistic expectations of the organisational capacity and ability to change
- There is insufficient focus on benefits
- There is no real picture (blueprint) of the future capability
- There is a poorly defined or poorly communicated vision
- The organisation fails to change its culture
- There is insufficient engagement of stakeholders
Adopting a programme management approach such as MSP® provides a structured framework that can help organisations avoid these pitfalls and achieve their goals.
