Leading People Through Change®

Change the organization in a meaningful way together

There are similar reasons why most change initiatives fail: 80% of companies use a top-down, minimal-involvement approach that ignores the concerns of those affected.

In Lead People Through Change®, change is viewed as an opportunity for high-involvement, collaborative leadership involving all parties. Our 30 years of experience leading organizational change have inspired this inclusive approach.

Recent research shows that dialogue between change leaders and employees can increase change success by 34% to 58%, reduce implementation time by 33%, and increase employee engagement by 38%.
