Are you overlooking the most critical phase of transformation? Our 2024 Global Transformation Survey reveals why the transition back to business-as-usual can make or break long-term success. In our recent 2024 Global Transformation Survey, we explored a critical element of transformation management: how effectively organisations manage the transition from project environments back to regular business operations. Our findings shed light on an often-overlooked challenge: where many organisations struggle with this transition. A notable portion of respondents indicated that the shift is not always as smooth as anticipated, leading to potential disruptions in day-to-day operations. The transition phase is frequently under-estimated, with the focus often being on the delivery of the project rather than on how it integrates back into business as usual (BAU). This oversight can result in more complex implementation issues than originally anticipated and a neglect of crucial change management practices. At Evolution Partners, we understand that a seamless transition is vital for sustaining transformation success and minimising operational disruptions. Our survey provides valuable insights into how organisations are managing these transitions and highlights strategies to improve this critical phase. Eager to learn more about how your organisation can enhance its transition process and avoid common pitfalls? Please contact us for a copy of the survey report.
