Organizations worldwide invest billions in digital transformations, with over 70% failing to achieve desired outcomes.Conventional project management techniques are ineffective for complex adaptive systems like modern organizations.Continuous change and evolution are essential for organizations to thrive, not periodic 'transformations.'Traditional metrics often track activity rather than outcomes, leading to false perceptions of success.Frameworks like SAFe and LESS are treated as solutions instead of tools, resulting in superficial transformations.Leading with technology in digital transformations often results in digitized versions of old processes.Project management assumptions of predictability and control often lead to wasted budgets and missed opportunities.Focusing on adaptability and enabling value streams rather than transformations may be more effective.Current approaches to enterprise change can lead to organizational cynicism, innovation suppression, and talent loss.A shift in thinking about organizations and value creation is necessary for real change to occur.
