The Transformation That Does Not Last
Most large enterprises have been through at least one major digital transformation program, and for the majority the results have been disappointing. The consultants leave, the technology gets implemented, and then very little actually changes about how the organization operates.
As Tony Saldanha, Co-Founder of Inixia, puts it:
“70% of transformations don’t fail because the strategy is wrong. They fail because the organisation rejects it.”
The figure comes from Tony Saldanha’s research for his book Why Digital Transformations Fail, in which he spoke with more than 100 CIOs, venture capitalists and industry advisers.
Most approaches treat digital transformation as a project with a start and end date, rather than as a capability that needs to be built and sustained. When the program ends, there is nothing left behind to keep the change going.
A Different Kind of Digital Transformation Consulting
Inixia’s approach is built around a single principle: the goal is not to deliver a transformation for you, it is to build your organization’s ability to transform itself.
As Filippo Passerini, Co-Founder of Inixia, describes it: “Our intent is to make companies self-sufficient, to leave as soon as possible, as soon as they are ready, not to stay with them forever, but rather to make sure they can walk and run on their own feet.”
The measure of a successful engagement is whether your organization is still evolving two years after it has finished.
How Inixia Works
Every engagement starts with Inixia’s Enterprise Transformation Assessment Tool: an objective view of your current maturity across people, process and technology. The work then runs in three phases.
Executive alignment. With the C-suite, Inixia defines the transformation ambition and designs the target operating model.
Leadership capability. The senior leaders driving change get the frameworks, coaching and skills to lead it, through the Leading Business Transformation program and executive workshops.
Organizational adoption. New ways of working are embedded in daily practice, using workshops drawn from the Professional GBS® certification program.
Built on Real-World Experience
Filippo Passerini and Tony Saldanha built one of the largest and most complex GBS organizations ever created, starting from scratch at Procter and Gamble. Their work delivered billions in value and became a Harvard Business Review case study.
Together they bring more than 70 years of combined experience advising Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. Inixia has certified more than 6,000 professionals across 140 plus companies.
The frameworks Inixia uses were not developed through academic research. They were built through decisions that had real consequences at scale.
Who Inixia Works With
Large, complex enterprises that are serious about making transformation last: typically revenues above one billion dollars, across multiple geographies, where the challenge is not ambition but execution at scale.
Clients include Campbell’s, ASDA, Salesforce, Estee Lauder, PepsiCo, Walmart, Constellation Brands, and Dole.
