Enacting change within an organisation is challenging, so it may not be surprising to hear that there is substantial evidence to assert that “more than 70% of all organisational change initiatives fail”.

This alarming statistic also aligns with The Standish Group’s 2020 CHAOS report, which estimates that only 29% of software projects are considered successful.
