Transforming organisations successfully is difficult, transforming organisations in a sustainable manner is very difficult. How do we know? The statistics on programme failures are stark and unequivocal, with up to 90% failing to deliver the projected business benefits.

Whilst statistics are clear the reasons for failure are more complex. However our analysis of the reasons for failure has identified two common elements - firstly the lack of in-house experience of organisational transformation causes the majority of poor decisions that subsequently lead to under-achievement in programmes. So the answer is easy, use someone from outside who has experience and all will be well! Unfortunately this is where common factor number two becomes important - failure occurs most readily where the organisation feels change is being done to them not by them, so using an external company to own the delivery of transformation does not work.

At Winchester White our approach is to deploy a small number of transformation experts to support organisations to deliver change to themselves. Our role is to provide leadership, guidance, skills transfer and challenge, whilst our clients focus on delivering successful organisational change and the behavioural transformations which make change sustainable.

We assist clients with their key transformation programmes and projects from the design stage through to implementation, working at all levels from Programme Board / Sponsor to Programme Management to Project / Programme Office Management. This transformation experience is aligned to specialist knowledge in fields such as distribution, target operating model design, process re-engineering, product development, regulation and taxation.
