Webinar: Why Most Change Initiatives Fail—and How to Make Yours Stick

Why do so many improvement initiatives start strong—only to fade away months later?

In this on-demand webinar, Lynn Kelly shares a proven, research-backed approach for overcoming one of the biggest challenges in continuous improvement: sustaining change over time.

Drawing on decades of leadership experience across manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation—as well as real-world lessons from large-scale transformations—Lynn explains why up to 70% of organizational change efforts fail and what leaders can do differently to beat the odds.

This session goes beyond theory. You’ll learn how to detect failure early, avoid “initiative fatigue,” and design change efforts that employees actually adopt—and maintain.


What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll discover how to:

  • Recognize the early warning signs that a change initiative is about to fail

  • Avoid “flavor of the month” improvement programs that damage credibility

  • Design change initiatives with purpose, clarity, and employee buy-in

  • Use pilots, checkpoints, and strategic speed to reduce risk

  • Engage leaders so their behaviors actively support—not undermine—change

  • Build sustainment into your improvement efforts from the very beginning

  • Continuous Improvement & Operational Excellence leaders
