What is a potential outcome of poor Business Transition Management?

The potential outcome of poor Business Transition Management is business value leakage. This occurs when changes within an organization—whether they involve processes, systems, or practices—are not effectively managed. Poor transition management can lead to a lack of alignment between the changes being implemented and the overall business strategy, resulting in missed opportunities for value creation.

When transitions are poorly managed, key stakeholders may not fully adopt new processes or systems, leading to inefficiencies and a dilution of benefits expected from the transition. As some initiatives may not be executed as envisioned, the organization may fail to realize potential gains, leading to lost revenue or decreased market competitiveness. Over time, this leakage can accumulate, severely impacting the organization’s overall performance and ability to deliver on its promises to customers and stakeholders.

In contrast, outcomes such as increased stakeholder satisfaction, successful implementation of change initiatives, and stronger team dynamics are typically associated with effective transition management, where changes are well communicated and supported throughout the organization.
