According to Bucy, Finlayson, Kelly & Moye (2016), 70 percent of large-scale, complex programs, undertaken by organizations around the world, do not reach their stated goals and are in effect, unsuccessful.

Li (2020) claims that main reason why change is so hard is because people are resistant to it, especially employees.

For many organizations, choosing a change management model is the first step to incorporating change in a company.
