Research shows that 84% of transformation spending is a complete waste of money and time.
It also shows that the number one reason is not technology, it is human behavior.
When you get your people to change, you get the performance change you are seeking.
Simple to say, hard to do.
Whether it’s in motivating your teams, forging a detailed transformation path, or providing clarifying leadership advice along the way, I am here to help your organization transform.
I have spent much of my career focused on how to create high-performing organizations as defined by superior operating results, sustainable competitive advantage and adaptive, hyper-innovative, and collaborative cultures. During my time as the Managing Director of the Harvard Innovation Labs that work became transformation work as I saw more organizations and their leaders struggle with how best to become digital-first. In fact, according to a Forbes study, as many as 84% fail.
My job is to help organizations of all sizes succeed. I do so by speaking around the world on transformation, advising CEOS in the finance, health care and education sectors, convening small groups of transformative leaders, and writing books to get at the truth of what it really takes to change.

“Chris leads with the truth, and the truth is essential to any transformation. During an incredibly difficult time in our industry he was able to motivate my leadership team to embrace change, to redefine what successful digital transformation requires and give them the tools to make it happen.”
