Regardless of industry or location, change is the new constant. The typical organization today has undertaken five major firmwide changes in the past three years — and nearly 75% of organizations expect to multiply the types of major change initiatives they will undertake in the next three years.
Yet half of change initiatives fail, and only 34% are a clear success.
Modern organizations with flatter organizational structures and complex reporting lines can vastly improve the likelihood of change success by adopting an open-source change strategy. This approach can help you increase the probability of change success by up to 24%, cut implementation time by up to one-third, and reduce time spent on change by up to 12 hours per week per employee.
Incorporating open-source strategies into change approaches can help you increase employee engagement, discretionary effort, intent to stay and productivity (employees will spend nearly 13 hours fewer per week on change). An open-source approach can also help you decrease implementation time by one-third and lower the number of change resistors in your organization.
With digital a top priority for more than 90% of corporate leaders and organizations poised to spend $1.7 trillion on digital transformation in 2019, HR leaders must be prepared to play the right role in enabling this transformation.
