The key to successful organizational change:
People!
“50% of all organizational change initiatives are unsuccessful.”
The reason they fail typically comes down to people — those affecting the change and those impacted by the change. Having the right team, approach, and adoption levels can greatly accelerate or hinder your change management process and success.

We help large groups of organizations optimize fundamental changes to organizational goals, process/procedures, workforces, and new technologies.

The large consulting organizations are strategic specialists who typically provide little in the way of execution. We do both. We work to understand your strategic challenges. We then develop a change management/transformation plan to satisfy your needs. Unlike most of our competitors, we also execute on our recommendations. You don’t have to source a separate firm for execution. We do it all and have already successfully served many of the largest brands in the world.
Most of our consultants have Big 6 management consulting firm experience, but with Candor Group, they now provide both the strategy and the tactical execution.
Change Management Challenges
According to Harvard Business Review (2022), most large organizations specialize in running their business, not orchestrating significant change initiatives. This is why half of all change management programs fail as well as…
01
Poorly Defined Strategy
02
Inflexibility & Rigidity
03
Ineffective Communication
04
Failing to Address Resistance
05
Strategy & Cultural Disconnect
06
Unrealistic Expectations
07
Not Celebrating Short Term Wins
To overcome these challenges, successful change management requires a coordinated, proactive, targeted communications campaign centered on change adoption. This is where project success and failure lie. Your workers need to hear your change requirements multiple ways, multiple times, and across multiple channels. Only then will true change occur.
