Why transformations fail both personally and professionally?

Based on my direct and indirect observations, at a fundamental level, here are the top reasons for transformation failures whether you are trying to lose weight, deliver a change program or redirect a company’s strategy:

  1. Imprecise understanding of the Cause (Problem)
  2. Absurd certainty of the Solution
  3. Inflated view of the Capabilities
  4. Gross underestimation of the Complexity
  5. Incomplete view of the Environment (Culture, System)

Feel free to challenge what is shared and share what is missing…
