Prosultant®

Maximizing ROI and De-Risking Your Strategic Portfolio

Millions of IT, performance improvement, and transformation projects kick off yearly, but most fail to meet their initial goals or fail altogether.

In today's dynamic business landscape, executive success is measured by the ability to execute strategic change. Yet, the data reveals a critical failure point:

Technology Projects

40% Fail (Gartner) | 25% Lack ROI (Forbes) | 50% Reworked (Prosci)

Business Transformation and Change

88% of Transformations Fail (Bain & Co.) | 70% of Change Initiatives Fail (McKinsey & Co.)

AI

80%+ of AI Initiatives Lack Significant ROI (McKinsey & Co. and MIT)

This failure rate represents billions in lost capital, squandered opportunity, and eroded competitive advantage. It is a decades-old cycle of inefficiency that has become the "cost of doing business."

The AI Era -- A Continuation, Not a Cure. We are at a critical crossroads. As organizations rush to integrate Artificial Intelligence, there is a dangerous assumption that new technology will somehow bypass old obstacles. The reality is the opposite: the dismal track record of technology and business transformation will inevitably carry over into your AI initiatives. AI does not fix poor execution or lack of strategic alignment—it accelerates them. Unless the systemic root causes of failure are identified and corrected now, AI will simply become the next multi-billion-dollar chapter in this history of squandered investment.

Prosultant®: A Hybrid Engine for Breaking the Cycle

Prosultant® operates on a fundamentally different model because persistent failure requires a paradigm shift. We are not a traditional service provider, and we do not deploy billable teams to occupy your office space. Instead, Prosultant® is a management advisory firm that provides the high-level intellectual capital and rigorous playbooks your organization needs to master its own destiny.

To meet the demands of the modern enterprise, we employ a hybrid approach to strategy. We leverage the speed and analytical power of AI to deliver cutting-edge intellectual capital, which is then refined and complemented by deep human experience. This synergy ensures that our content—including frameworks such as Capability Thinking® and the TOBA™ (Thinking, Organization, Behavior, and Action) model—is both technologically advanced and grounded in the hard-won wisdom of careers spent leading thousands of assignments.

Our mission is to equip executives and business teams with the specific know-how to significantly increase the performance and measurable value of their initiatives. By utilizing our specialized content, organizations can move past the "watermelon project" trap and finally bridge the gap between strategy and execution.
