Navigating The Extinction Zone

a guide to successful change management

Change is the new normal.

But up to 70% of change initiatives fail in business because of negativity towards change, and the inability of the change to be managed competently due to dysfunctional and conflicting behaviours and attitudes.

And it’s more than that.

The varying levels of tolerance to change are influenced by a number of factors: the reason for the change in the first place, the market drivers, the rate of technological changes, the viability of the company culture, availability of resources to support the change, the agility of the workforce, and the impact the change has on people.

When undertaking a change process the ‘out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new’ mentality can receive very different reactions: some are eager to move on, comfortable with, and excited by, the uncertainty change brings – some thrive on it; others feel a sense of loss from moving away from the old and familiar – the comfort they felt from knowing how things worked, and the psychological safety they experienced as a result, goes.
