With our complex lives in and outside of work, change is happening all around us and hitting simultaneously.
Here at Seventy20Ten we specialise in helping organisations, leaders and individuals not only survive change, but thrive through the process.
Be it transformational, agile, or even hammer change, by working on the human side of the impact of change, the percentage success of landing the project increases dramatically.

70% of change initiatives fail, and a significant portion of that failure is attributed to people- related factors such as:
•Employee resistance to change
Lack of management support
Poor communication
Inadequate leadership
Low engagement or buy-in from staff
