That’s a lot of churning and creative destruction, economist has predicted that today’s Fortune 500 companies will be replaced by new companies in new industries over the next 20 years, usually the life expectancy of a firm in the Fortune 500 was around 75 years.

Typical transformations examples in our experience are change of business model and processes, mergers and acquisitions, cross function organisational restructuring. These are not only within the companies but also across the entire value chain. Transformation will change the way of doing business, relationship of a company and its customers and suppliers, economic and social environment.

What makes one company succeed in transformation whilst others fail?

Our recent project experience shows a “holistic approach” to business transformation management is the key to success.

Critical Success Factors:

  • Strong Believe in “why now” in all level of an organisation
  • Flexibility and competence to react fast to changing business environment
  • Innovative in all aspects. To customers, suppliers and organisation

Your next question could be how do we achieve that? Well, it can be an Integration of business strategy, business process and organisational change, risk and sustainability. Forming an integrated management framework with holistic management can reduce complexity and value add to transformation.
