"We live in a world of increasing change. The international order is shifting and political certainties are evaporating day by day. Technological shifts are changing how we experience the world and interact with others. And in the workplace, AI is poised to unleash what might be the most revolutionary set of changes humanity has experienced since the first hunter-gatherers settled down to grow crops and build cities."
"But while change is everywhere, we still find it hard to manage. The statistics around organizational change have always been brutal. For at least the last quarter century, corporate transformation efforts have failed at a remarkable rate: only three out of ten are brought to something approaching a successful conclusion. The age of AI will make things even more challenging. We will need to adapt more rapidly and more comprehensively, and we will need to manage multiple layers of continuous change at any one time."
The international order, technology, and workplace dynamics are shifting rapidly, with AI set to drive profound transformation. Corporate transformation consistently fails at a high rate, with roughly only three out of ten initiatives reaching successful conclusions. The acceleration and layering of change in the AI era will demand faster, broader adaptation across organizations. Persistent change generates fatigue that depletes individual energy, attention, and commitment, translating into stalled initiatives, institutional resistance, and reduced adaptive capacity. Sustainable progress requires rethinking change approaches, finding stable foundations, and aligning purpose, people, processes, and technology to make change navigable for real humans.
