A new survey by nexus at Cranfield School of Management, shows that two thirds of public and private sector organisations manage their business improvement initiatives in a disjointed way, increasing their chances of failure. Responses from senior executives and project managers at major UK financial institutions, IT/telecoms and public sector organisations showed that where it is vital for departments or organisations to work together there is little ability to pull together to deliver the desired outcome. As a result, rather than delivering solutions, the initiatives themselves become part of the problem.
