Whitepaper Summary

Transforming your Bank or Credit Union can be a daunting task, and unfortunately, most transformation efforts fail. In fact, according to recent research, up to 84% of core banking transformations fail to meet their intended goals—not because of technology, but due to poor planning, misaligned leadership, and resistance to change. This whitepaper breaks down the key reasons why and how to avoid them.

My respected colleague and friend, Ed Hansen, recently highlighted in a LinkedIn post that the biggest obstacle to successful transformation is not technology, but people.

Even when technical issues arise, the root cause is usually related to people-related problems. This inspired us to delve deeper into the “People Problem” of transformation and identify the top 10 reasons why transformation efforts fail:

1. Lack of Clear Goals and Objectives
2. Insufficient Resources, Planning and Preparation
3. Ineffective Communication and Collaboration
4. Resistance to Change
5. Technical Challenges
6. Lack of Experience
7. Treating It as a Project Instead of a Transformation
8. Treating It Like a Technology Project
9. Failure to Re-engineer
10. Poor Governance
