15 questions purposeful leaders must consider for lasting change within their organizations.

How to make change stick in organizations

Change is needed now more than ever in these times of uncertainty, division and rapid disruption – change that makes our organizations, economies and societies more innovative, sustainable and equitable. So how do we create that positive change?

More than 70% of business transformations fail to achieve lasting change. And yet, impactful change is needed now more than ever in these times of uncertainty, division and rapid disruption – change that makes our organizations, economies and societies more innovative, sustainable and equitable. So how do we create that positive change?

This question brought 250 industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and experts together for our annual DO Summit Week at the end of 2024. We identified 15 urgent challenges to shape the week’s agenda. And we asked everyone to share with us the key questions that emerged for them – questions we need to address in 2025 to ensure success for ourselves and others. The results are captured in our Summit Report, available for download below.

It’s our hope that these key questions will serve as a roadmap to transformation, helping ignite the conversations and actions for a future that’s better for us and the planet.
