How Sofigate helps their customers succeed in transformations
Why do so many transformations fail?
Case Sofigate
Challenge
Sofigate is the leading business technology consultancy in the Nordics, helping its clients plan, build, and implement technology solutions that support the whole organization as well as lead transformation projects. One of Sofigate’s priorities is to provide individuals with the capabilities to lead change themselves rather than being merely subject to it.
To support effective involvement, Sofigate needed technology that would also enhance people’s ability to navigate change throughout the transformation journey.
Solution
Sofigate had previously used its in-house tool for facilitating change but ended up replacing it with Howspace to have an easy-to-use, ever-evolving platform supported by artificial intelligence.
Sofigate first piloted Howspace in internal training and, after a successful pilot, integrated the platform into their client work as well.
With Howspace, Sofigate can support its clients to involve a greater number of people in the change process and navigate long-term transformation journeys successfully.
Results
Howspace enables Sofigate to facilitate transformation, enhance its clients’ change capabilities, and achieve change objectives and business goals.
Significant time and resource savings were achieved with reusable templates and analytics for efficient monitoring, ensuring impressive results.
Sofigate has driven high activity and commitment to change, maintaining engagement levels above 70% by providing versatile features and engagement methods and creating an inspiring work environment for the transformation process.

What does successful transformation require?
Toward a common understanding
For a transformation to succeed, people need to feel that they are the change agents, not just subjects of change.
Individuals should also be provided with ample opportunity to understand the reasons and impacts of the change from their own, team, and organizational perspectives.
Employees must lead change
Communicating changes from top management is no longer sufficient.
Involvement must extend widely, ensuring commitment to the transformation occurs during the process. Support can also be sought externally, but employees must be provided with the tools and necessary coaching to lead the transformation themselves.
Develop your skills in facilitating transformation
