They Fail Because No One Owns the Outcome.

The Hidden Cost of
Transformation Project Failure

Across large-scale transformation projects and enterprise changes, failure is not the exception — it is the norm. The result is billions in value leakage — and no single party accountable for recovery.

65–75% Failure Rate

Of large transformation projects exceed budget or schedule significantly.

17% Value Destruction

Average value destruction on major transformations due to delayed execution.

Accountability Gap

Senior sponsors rotate out before accountability materializes. Governance exists on paper, not in execution.

Why Traditional Advisory Models Break Down

Complex transformations fail in the gap between strategy and execution.

Strategy Firms

  • Advise, but don’t execute
  • Junior teams deliver
  • No outcome accountability

Engineering / Delivery Firms

  • Execute tasks, not transformations
  • Limited change leadership
  • Optimized for scope, not value

Internal Teams

  • Politically constrained
  • Lacking external authority
  • Overloaded with BAU responsibilities

That gap is where AURELIAN operates.

Not Advisory Opinions
