This will further increase the pressure on the internal organization. Therefore, the urgency will further grow for a mature change organization with high levels of efficiency and effectiveness. As mentioned earlier, the chance for success of a programme or project increases from 48% to 98% when using a mature change organization. So, if you want to be almost certain that your internal and external change processes indeed contribute to your bottom line profits, this is almost inevitable. Mind you that the installation of a Project Office or a Programme Manager is just the start. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
