The Implementation Science Advantage: Turning Evidence Into Action, at Scale
Why Most Implementations Fail (change data solutions fo rhuman success
Despite over 50 years of research and massive digital investment, success rates for large-scale change remain stubbornly low. Research shows even digital initiatives reach sustained results only 16% of the time. The root cause? Teams face rapidly changing situations with limited access to actionable data and practical guidance for their unique context.
What Makes DCMI’s Approach Different?
Global Implementation Norms
DCMI distilled decades of field data into 16 evidence-backed norms, grouped across four pillars:
Committed Sponsorship
Effective Program Management
Organization Capability
People Engagement
Scenario-Based, Team-Driven Risk Reviews: Our digital platform reframes success factors as “implementation risks” teams can self-assess, prioritize, and mitigate in real time.
Portfolio Intelligence: Teams benchmark against a living database, learning from past projects and the collective wisdom of hundreds of major organizational changes.
Audit Trails and Feedback Loops: Every risk, action, and result is tracked and reviewed, enabling continuous learning, better decisions, and higher returns.
Field-Proven Results: Every risk, action, and result is tracked and reviewed, enabling continuous learning, better decisions, and higher returns.
Field-Proven Results:
Teams applying the DCM Implementation Success Risk Assessment (ISRA) process have:
Aligned leaders on vision, sponsorship, and critical priorities
Uncovered invisible roadblocks, before they derail projects
Delivered successful course-corrections, even mid-stream
Accelerated realization and long-term user adoption
Built internal capability for repeatable, scalable success
Scenario-Based, Team-Driven Risk Reviews: Our digital platform reframes success factors as “implementation risks” teams can self-assess, prioritize, and mitigate in real time.
"With ISRA, we moved forward more in one month with all teams than we had in four months with one team before." — Change Portfolio Leader, Global Technology Company
