The critical challenge of change capability

Written by Digia | Oct 14, 2025 5:14:19 AM

The pace of change has accelerated to unprecedented levels, placing extreme pressure on organizations to evolve. Yet, despite significant investments, a staggering 60 to 70 percent of transformation initiatives fail to achieve their objectives. In this volatile environment, the ability to change is no longer a competitive advantage; it is a strategic imperative for survival and success.

Digia’s research report gives leadership teams a clear, data-driven perspective on how Finnish organizations are responding to change. It outlines the current state of change capability across industries, identifying key strengths and development gaps at both organizational and societal levels. The final two parts of the report introduce a practical blueprint for building an adaptive, change-capable organization, completed with concrete recommendations based on research insights and real-world experience.

The study is based on in-depth interviews with 38 senior leaders from large Finnish organizations, complemented by a comprehensive quantitative survey of 1,500 employees and managers. This dual approach and coverage of the study are unique in Finland.
