Strategic Change Management

How executives transform large organizations with the five forces of change 

80 percent of transformations in large organizations fail due to employee resistance and a lack of competence for the desired change. The reason for this is often an outdated understanding of the function of the human brain. How can executives of large organizations truly activate their people for their strategic transformation? 

This White Paper identifies the "Five Forces of Change" for successfully leading employees through change. The five forces include leadership, communication, guidelines and policies, new ways of working, and competencies of the future. Incorporating new insights from behavioral economics, a win-win situation can be achieved: Improving business goals and increasing employee commitment.
