Why 70% of Change Initiatives Fail
Why 70% of Change Initiatives Fail
The root cause isn’t flawed plans or tools.
It’s disconnecting Humans From the Change:
-
Teams resisting new protocols they didn’t help shape
-
Mangers struggle to adopt policy that feels like forced compliance
-
Team Members misaligned due to unaddressed fears about roles or becoming irrelevant
Traditional consulting worsens this gap.
They focus only on processes and systems ignoring the fears, habits, and tribal knowledge that prevents whether changes actually stick within the organization.

We Prioritize the Human Side of Change Other Consultants Overlook.
- Empathy-driven discovery to uncover real pain points
- Helping leaders to enhance active listening skills
- Transforming emotional resistance into buy-in
“Change will not take hold if it is forced compliance – you must help others become willing participants.” – Ryan Ware

Our Curiosity Building Experiences® Service
Change Management Engagements
Real change starts with clarity — not quick fixes.
In the AEC industry, change is constant: ERP implementations, new technologies, process standardization, growth, and leadership transitions. Yet many change initiatives struggle not because the strategy is wrong, but because leaders and teams are asked to move forward without a shared understanding of what’s really happening.
We help architectural, engineering, construction, prefabrication, and building manufacturing organizations navigate change by starting with clarity and building the leadership capability to respond well under pressure.
Our Approach to Change in AEC
We believe most change breaks down when leaders try to control outcomes instead of understanding conditions— rushing through stages of change until goals get lost in translation.
Resistance is rarely defiance. More often, it’s a signal — of uncertainty, misalignment, unclear expectations, loss of control, or change fatigue. Our Curiosity Building Experiences® help leaders slow down just enough to make sense of these signals and move forward with intention.
Our work blends human-centered change, mindset, systems thinking, and fractional executive-level experience — not to run your organization for you, but to bring seasoned leadership perspective into the moments where change is most fragile.
How We Support Change
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all change management, we design Curiosity Building Experiences® that align with where your organization is right now.
- Clarifying Change
When things feel unclear, complex, or stuck, we help leadership teams build shared understanding, surface what’s really driving resistance, and create a grounded, people-centered path forward. - Navigating Change
When change is already underway, we support leaders and managers in real time — strengthening decision-making, alignment, and leadership behavior under pressure so momentum doesn’t stall. - Embedding Change Capability
When organizations want change readiness to last, we help build durable leadership capability, shared language, and behavioral standards that scale beyond a single initiative.
