\n\tEven under the best of circumstances,nearly 70 percent of all change initiatives fail. And that\u2019s why most organizations never realize the benefits they hoped for with their new culture change, software implementation, or training initiative.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile there are many documented reasons why change initiatives fail, the overriding reason is that change sponsors do not involve or address the concerns of the people affected by the change.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Ken Blanchard Companies asked 400 leaders why they thought their change initiatives ended up with less-than-stellar results. Overwhelmingly, these executives felt the main cause for failure was poor execution.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhere do most organizational initiatives wind up?<\/p>\n

\n\tBad Plan – Good Execution: 13%<\/p>\n

\n\tGood Plan – Good Execution: 4%<\/p>\n

\n\tBad Plan – Bad Execution: 8%<\/p>\n

\n\tGood Plan – Bad Execution: 74%<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on our research, Blanchard believes the fastest way to defuse resistance to change and improve execution is by using a high involvement change strategy. Involve people in the change process\u2014including what it will look like and how it is implemented\u2014provide them with information to allay their concerns, and give them a chance to dialogue and influence the process.
