For years, organizations have been in a near-constant state of transformation—restructuring teams, embracing AI, cutting costs, and redefining how and where we work. Leaders have had to move fast, adjusting strategies and adopting new technologies to keep pace. Now, the challenge isn’t just about keeping up but navigating the right balance between innovation, controlling costs, and getting teams on the same page. While transformation continues, our research shows that investment in managing it is shrinking. Organizations that aren’t effective at navigating this obstacle, could find themselves with execution gaps, stalled initiatives, and growing employee skepticism. Like a navigator in shifting terrain, today’s leaders must make every move count to keep transformation on course.
