Strategic
CHANGE:
Why
do
Change
programs
fail?

• Strategic change failures are
commonly related to human
issues,not technical issues
(Kotter & Cohen,2002).
• The study in Chinese context
reveals the most challenge
during the change
management in Chinese
enterprises is lack of
competent talents (Wang,
2003).
• The survey from German
leading companies found the
reasons for the failure in
managing large-scale change
are relevant with soft issue,
inconsistency of change
objectives (C4 Consulting,
2007).

“Act like a leader, not a manager! They (managers) equate managing with sophistication, with
sounding smarter than anyone else. They inspire no one. I dislike the traits that have come to be
associated with ‘managing’- controlling, stifling people, keeping them in the dark, wasting their
time on trivia and reports. ...
Leaders are people who ‘inspire with clear vision of how thing can be done better.’”
Jack Welch (Jack Welch and GE Way, 1999).

“No organization today -- large or small, local or global -- is immune to change.
To cope with new technological, competitive, and demographic forces, leaders in every sector
have sought to fundamentally alter the way their organizations do business. Yet according to
most assessments, few of these efforts accomplish their goals.”
