Such huge demand for resources puts constraints on the organisation and a strong leadership support is necessary for a successful project.

Create a sense of urgency May a time organizational leaders get trapped in a state of complacency. It is necessary to show them the need for immediate action and progress. Show them the external and internal factors affecting the organization and how other organizations are responding to these changing dynamics and trends. Show them how other organizations and industries are faring well and create a sense of urgency. Show them the costs of not taking such initiatives- the cost in terms of time, money and customer satisfaction 5. Involve them in the process 6. Update them regularly with key performance indicators (sales, profit margin, customer satisfaction score etc)
