Over the last few years, there’s been a shift in the nature and speed of transformation. The need to successfully transform — and to do so continuously in the face of disruption — is important for organizations to survive.  

According to our research with Oxford University's Saïd Business School, the complex factors that influence the success or failure of a business transformation are rooted in human emotions. Leaders who prioritize workforce emotions in their transformations are 2.6x more likely to be successful than those who don't. In addition, more than half of respondents (52%) in high-performing transformations said that their organization provided them with the emotional support they needed during the process. 

Join our experienced panel in this webcast to hear about:

  • Insights from respondents composed of almost 1,000 senior leaders and direct reports; and more than 1,000 workforce members from 23 countries and 16 industry sectors
  • The six drivers of human behavior that, if well executed, can more than double the likelihood of transformation success
  • What your organization can do today to ensure successful transformations
