The amount, pace and complexity of changes impacting the business landscape is forcing businesses across Nigeria and West Africa to evolve rapidly and smartly if they are to be successful. As a result, the demand for change leadership expertise has never been higher To successfully face these challenges organisations are embarking on change efforts like digital transformation, culture change, strategy pivots, corporate restructuring, compensation and performance management redesigns, mergers & acquisitions, operational efficiency, and leadership development. Yet, despite their best efforts, these change initiatives often fail. The reason? Traditional approaches focus too much on processes and not enough on people.
Think about it —
Companies spend millions crafting perfect strategies, hiring consultants, and rolling out new technologies, yet they struggle to get their employees to embrace these changes. Employees resist, projects stall, and what was meant to be a transformational initiative ends up becoming another failed experiment. The problem isn’t strategy or technology; it’s engagement. People don’t just follow plans—they need to be inspired, motivated, and part of the change.
The common solution —
Many organizations rely on rigid change management frameworks. They build step-by-step plans, assign a change team, and push initiatives from the top down. But these methods often miss the human element—the urgency, the shared purpose, and the emotional connection that makes change stick. Without that, even the best plans collapse under their own weight.
