Episode notes

▶︎ #145 | 70% of Tech Change Initiatives Fail - And It's Not a Technical Problem Seventy percent of organizational change initiatives fail to meet their intended outcomes. That number has been consistent across industries and decades - and in almost every case, the failure has nothing to do with the technology involved. It's a people problem. A communication problem. A leadership problem. In this episode, your host, Aleksandra Lemańska, walks through the five root cause buckets behind the 70% failure rate - lack of employee buy-in, insufficient leadership support, poor planning, poor communication, and treating go-live as the finish line - and makes the case that most of these are not mysteries. They're predictable, avoidable, and still happening everywhere because leaders either don't know what to look for or are too overwhelmed to act before the damage is done.
