The underestimated risk

IT projects fail because of people, not technology

IT installs new software, sends an email, and wonders about the resistance. "The old system was better." "Nobody explained this."

We do it differently: Employees involved from day 1. Training not just on "how" but on "why".

More about our approach
"Only 30% of digital transformation projects achieve their goals."
– McKinsey Digital, 2023

Most common reason? Lack of employee involvement and poor change management.

From Practice
