Our story

We consider ourselves full-time teachers, seeking to help individuals, teams, and organizations improve their capabilities. Our engagement model is very different from consultants. As full-time business school faculty members, we do not have the time, nor desire, to spend 40+ hours a week leading and implementing change or improvement initiatives. Our goal is to utilize years of practical experience leading teams along with current business research to teach individuals, teams, and organizations how to overcome challenges and prepare them to handle future challenges on their own.

SC&E Insights

SCE_Change Curve.jpg

SC&E CHange Curve

Research indicates that 50%-75% of change efforts fail. In fact, studies of failed projects over the past decade show organizational failure rates have slightly increased. The good news is there are instances of success, but even successful change tends to miss the targeted business outcomes. Based on research, along with 40 years of practical experience with change, SC&E Partners have developed the Change Curve to answer the question of why change in organizations is so difficult.
