Whether ERP, Outsourcing or other Digital Transformations are involved, we all know transformation failure is common — but what if the real problem starts before the first milestone is even reached?

In this video, Ed Hansen, founder of Transformation Enablement LLC, breaks down the concept of transformation theater — the illusion of progress created by flashy kickoffs, endless meetings, and carefully crafted PowerPoints… with no real value behind them. These are the traps that look like transformation but lead teams straight into failure.

Learn: • How transformation theater takes hold — and why it’s so hard to spot • Common signs your program is acting out a script rather than solving real problems • Why these early missteps lead to value destruction down the line • What real transformation leadership looks like in practice

Whether you’re a CIO, program sponsor, transformation lead, or just someone who’s seen too many stage productions pass as progress — this is a wake-up call.
