Delve into best-in-class knowledge when it comes to corporate travel change management right here.
Starting out
Google or ask your AI assistant "what is change management?", and you're bound to get different definitions, theories, and strategies to explain how enterprises can roll out large-scale organisational transformations.
Change management provokes either ire or inspiration. And to be frank, the ire isn’t entirely misdirected: according to McKinsey, 70% of all organisational change attempts fail.
Change is scary, not because of the process, but because of the unknown. It may be easier to stay comfortably in the status quo. But we all that procrastinating won’t lead to solutions, and it definitely won’t result in transformations.
Think of the positives!
This is just some of the results from successful change:
- Smoother transition to a new travel provider or system
- Less pushback from introducing a new travel policy
- Savings - financially and everyone's time
- Increased visibility and reduced leakage
- Improved traveller experience
