Main root causes leading to the failure of organizational initiatives
Eight major causes leading to failures of organizational change management initiatives are;
- Lack of sense of urgency
- Failing to create a sufficiently powerful core team
- Having no compelling vision
- Under communicating the vision
- Allowing obstacles to obstruct the new vision
- Failing to create short term wins
- Declaring victory too soon
- Neglecting to institutionalize the change in the corporate culture
These root causes or risks can be either avoided or mitigated with proven proactive actions by knowledgeable and skilled change agents. If these are done in the right sequence, that will improve the effectiveness of these initiatives.
In the past, we have helped organizations to;
- Implement Integrated project management approach (data driven project management) for EPC companies
- Move from reactive project management to proactive project management
- Embrace the culture of proactive risk management
- Transition from predictive to agile / hybrid project management for I.T organizations
If your organization / team is facing project management challenges like the ones listed below,
- Non availability of accurate project progress information on time

They are actually opportunities to demonstrate your leadership potential to the key stakeholders.
