Since 2001 clients have looked to CPS to provide assurance that the key elements necessary for the successful delivery of change and the realisation of benefits are present and in good health.
Imperative
It is not uncommon for large organisations to allocate an equivalent of 20% of annual operating budget to funding change initiatives. At the same time, experience and lessons learned confirm that c.70% of all changes fail to deliver the expected benefits.
At best, this represents a poor return on investment; at worst organisations are exposed to the risk of significant disruption to core operations and impaired ability to deliver value to customers, shareholders and other key stakeholders.
CPS has a consistent track record of enabling clients to
- Establish robust governance and clear accountability across multiple change initiatives
- Stabilise and simplify complex change portfolios to provide a clear focus on priorities
- Gain a clear understanding of how each change initiative will contribute to building the blueprint for the organization - the key foundation for delivery of the business plan
- Increase significantly the probability of successful outcomes through the early identification and active management of key risks
- Increase return on investment in change initiatives
