Only 22% of large-scale transformations are deemed successful. In our experience, this is not just because programmes go wrong, but because they often start wrong. This critical misstep results in persistent challenges throughout the programme's lifecycle which inhibits organisations from reaching their full potential.
Following our exploration of why transformations fail, this session focuses on getting them right from the start. The key lies in Build for High Impact – creating a clear aspiration and impact case, defining benefits and scope, and organising for effective delivery to guide your transformation with clarity and purpose.
With this foundation as your compass, every initiative contributes to meaningful organisational change. Without it, even well-intentioned programmes struggle to deliver lasting impact.
This third OnPoint marks the beginning of our deep-dive series into the three TPM disciplines, standing on Implement Consulting Group’s 25+ years of experience in driving large-scale transformations. We start with “Build for High Impact” – the model’s first pillar, and the critical foundation that determines whether your transformation will succeed or struggle.
In this session, we will explore how to apply Build for High Impact end-to-end to position and orient your transformation for maximum impact. We will also be joined by Rasmus Rytter, partner at Implement Consulting Group, who will share pragmatic perspectives on benefits realisation as one essential element of the discipline. Rasmus specialises in benefits realisation at project and portfolio level and organisational change and is the author of three books and several articles on the topic.
This session will demonstrate proven approaches for:
- Setting a clear transformation direction through a compelling vision and measurable impact case
- Defining benefits, scope, and a value-driven roadmap with waves to deliver early impact
- Organising for effective delivery with the right programme structure, roles, and governance cadence
You will gain practical insights into positioning your transformation for success from day one, moving beyond guesswork to build programmes that deliver sustainable results. We look forward to continuing our exploration of transformation programme management with you!
