Key Takeaways

  • Launching CX initiatives without assessing organisational readiness is the most common reason transformations stall — power, politics, and capacity constraints must be mapped before committing resources.

  • Not all parts of an organisation are equally ready for change; identifying pockets of genuine intent allows you to start where you can win, building credibility before expanding scope.

  • A start point chosen on the basis of readiness rather than ambition will generate more durable momentum than a bold launch that collapses under internal resistance.
