Frequently asked questions
What are the main transformation trends in 2024?
Continuous adaptation, with the CEO increasingly owning the agenda. Sensei Labs' 2024 State of Transformation Survey of 150+ senior transformation leaders at enterprises with 1,000+ employees and $1 billion+ in revenue found leadership, evolving change management roles, benefits tracking, AI adoption, and the rise of the Transformation Management Office as the dominant themes.
How many enterprises are using AI in their transformation strategy?
85% of surveyed enterprises reported integrating AI into their transformation strategies. The survey covered senior leaders across North America, Europe, and Asia, and the finding reflects a shift from manual, periodic processes toward predictive, real-time decision-making.
What is a Transformation Management Office (TMO) and why is it growing?
A central function that owns transformation as a continuous capability rather than a project. Jay Goldman's Forbes summary of the survey describes TMOs becoming the strategic nucleus of the enterprise, coordinating initiatives, tracking benefits, and aligning execution with strategy as change management roles evolve.
Why is benefits tracking becoming central to transformation?
Because the survey found it is now integral to success, not an afterthought. Delivering strategy-aligned performance requires knowing whether initiatives are producing the value they promised, and transformation leaders increasingly treat benefits tracking as a core discipline of the TMO rather than a finance reconciliation done at the end.
