Transformations are hard.

Look at the overall system

Transformations are complex. It takes years and relies on tremendous efforts from the organization.

In MANY cases, organizations underestimate this complexity because the focus is ONLY on restructuring how the teams work together. This typically is within tech only with perhaps some level of interaction with product.

What is missing is the overall end/end (or system) view that involves the ENTIRE organization. Failure to recognize this results in never realized outcomes, high costs, rework and often leads to a worse working environment than when the transformation started.

Leaders must look at all 7 major areas and what this will mean to their organization as they embark on a transformation.
