Hi,
Well, i would agree to certain extent based on what I have seen. Dont want to generalise though. In my last project as " Interim Head of Transformation India" for a global logistics company headquarted in London, I was reporting to a guy from Bain who was reporting to Group CEO.. His profile reads 16 years in Bain, and 22 years experience in total. The enterprise was going through a major change in terms of a digital transformation, SSC Transformation, Cost Optimisation and many other initiatives. This person, gem of a guy by nature but was finding it tough to handle transformation programs implementation. We have had lots of situations where-in things were going out of control due to the way he was managing the whole enterprise wide transformation. One culd easily figure out that he is not comfortable in complex multi year implementation programs.
Personally I enjoy transformation/implementation programs. They are fun because you basically roll up your sleeves and work on the ground, interacting with people across functions,business units, hierarchies. Sometimes I wonder whats the use of a strategy study of 12 weeks if ultimately the report sits on the CEOs desk without any action, there are many such instances.
