• The primary drivers for these change initiatives were efficiency savings and better use of resources
• 45% of the respondents used a recognised formal change methodology; 48% planning to do so in the future; however, adaption seems to be the key with emphasis on holistic approach to organisational change
• 62% of the respondents agreed a change success criteria with a range of measures however success/failure rates were difficult to establish
