Why Do Most Transformations Fail? Why Implementation Has Become the New Competitive Edge
Connected_CEO

A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.

Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.

Why?

Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.

Adaptive Work Orchestration
Adaptive Work Orchestration: Top 5 Strategic Imperatives Transforming Enterprise Execution

Collaborative work management (CWM) is reaching a turning point as static planning, human-led coordination, and visibility-focused tools become less suited to fast-changing enterprise environments. Organizations seek more adaptive, AI-enabled, and cross-system approaches to enterprise execution. As adaptive work orchestration takes shape, the opportunity for business leaders is shifting toward faster response to change, lower coordination burden, stronger resilience, and closer alignment between everyday execution and strategic priorities.

Optimize Cloud Strategy and Thwart Infrastructure Challenges: Partnering with the Right Hyperscalers as RPO Commitments Grow

For years, cloud infrastructure scaled in fairly predictable ways. More applications moved to the cloud, enterprises expanded workloads gradually, and hyperscalers kept adding capacity to stay ahead of that demand. But today, that model is under pressure. AI is changing the type of infrastructure enterprises need and the speed at which they need it.
