The hidden reason most transformations fail – and how to ensure success

Transformation & change
Whitepaper
Technology may be the spark, but real transformation happens in an environment that puts people first.

Many organisations struggle with change not because of tools or processes, but because they fail to engage their people. Based on our experience from over 100 projects, we see that around two out of three initiatives fail when the human aspect is not given enough attention. 

This is where Ray Sono’s white paper on ‘Driving change in complex environments: a human-centric approach’ comes in. It not only highlights the key challenges organisations face, but also provides actionable insights and a proven framework for success in change management. 

 

Unlock the insights

In this white paper, you’ll gain:

  • Proven insights from over 100 organisational transformation projects with leading companies like Audi, BMW, and Voith.

  • A human-centric approach to tackling challenges in change management and agile transformation.

  • An approach to implementing sustainable change through small, iterative steps that create measurable results.

We create an environment where people don’t just accept change, but actively shape it. That’s how Ray Sono helps drive sustainable transformation in organisations.

The biggest barrier to change isn’t technology – it’s figuring out how to spark curiosity and activate teams.

Top 3 insights to drive sustainable change

  • 1. People over processes:
    The biggest barrier to change isn’t technology – it’s failing to engage your teams. Successful organisational transformation happens when people are actively involved and empowered to shape the process.

  • 2. Small wins, big impact:
    Large-scale transformations often feel overwhelming. By breaking them down into smaller, iterative steps, you can reduce risks and achieve tangible results faster. Our Minimum Viable Change (MVC) framework makes this possible.

  • 3. The power of engagement:
    Engagement isn’t just a soft factor – it’s a critical driver of business success. Organisations that prioritise employee engagement consistently outperform their peers. Learn how our MVC approach builds momentum across teams and drives lasting transformation.
