The £5.2M Transformation Graveyard

Your transformation isn't failing because of technology or strategy—it's failing because of people. While executives celebrate the launch, employees silently sabotage. They smile in town halls but undermine in private. They nod in training but revert to old ways. By the time you notice adoption metrics failing, resistance has metastasized and your transformation is dead.

Case Study: GlobalRetail's Digital Transformation

Major retailer with 15,000 employees implementing £8M digital transformation, facing massive resistance and heading toward complete failure at month 6.

Before Clover Era

Adoption Rate 23%
Resistance Level High (78%)

Employee Sentiment -67 (Negative)

After 90 Days

Adoption Rate 91%
Resistance Level Low (12%)
Project Status Green/On Track
Value Delivered £9.3M
Employee Sentiment +72 (Positive)

"Six months in, our £8M transformation was dead. 77% resistance, shadow systems everywhere, and executives in denial. Clover Era's AI showed us exactly where resistance was building and why. We converted key resisters into champions, addressed hidden fears, and achieved 91% adoption in 90 days. We not only saved the project but exceeded ROI targets by 16%."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do 70% of transformations fail? +

Most failures aren't about strategy or technology—they're about people. Organizations can't see resistance building, don't understand adoption barriers, and lack real-time sentiment data. By the time problems are visible, resistance has spread too far to recover.

How does AI predict transformation failure? +

Our AI analyzes communication patterns, adoption velocity, influence networks, and behavioral indicators to identify resistance patterns 2 months before they impact outcomes. We track sentiment across all channels and predict which groups will resist and why.

Can you really convert resisters to champions? +

Yes. 68% of resisters can be converted when you understand their specific concerns. Our AI identifies why each person resists (fear, confusion, loss of status) and deploys targeted interventions. Many resisters become strongest champions once concerns are addressed.

What types of change does this work for? +

All organizational changes: digital transformations, restructuring, mergers, system implementations, cultural changes, process improvements, and strategic pivots. Any change requiring human adoption benefits from our approach.

How quickly can we rescue a failing transformation? +

Most transformations show improvement within 30 days. We've rescued projects at 20% adoption and brought them to 85%+ within 90 days. The key is acting before resistance becomes entrenched—ideally when adoption is still above 30%.

What's the ROI on change management AI? +

Average ROI is 18:1. Preventing one failed transformation saves £5.2M. Additionally, successful transformations deliver their intended benefits (typically 2-3x investment), plus faster adoption reduces implementation costs by 30-40%.
