We’re proud to share that Change Logic has been recognised with two major honours at the MEA Business Awards 2025, hosted by MEA Markets.
We were named:
-
Change Management Innovators of the Year 2025 – South Africa
-
Digital Transformation Innovation Award 2025
It’s a meaningful moment for our team, not only because it recognises the work we’ve delivered over the past year, but because it signals something bigger: the market is finally rewarding transformation that delivers outcomes, not just activity.
Two awards. One message: transformation only counts when people adopt it
Digital transformation doesn’t fail because organisations lack ambition. It fails because there’s a gap between what gets implemented… and what gets used.
That gap is adoption.
And it’s still the most underestimated risk inside large-scale transformation programmes, especially when timelines are tight, stakeholders are many, and the pressure to “go live” becomes the primary success measure.
Gartner has highlighted this challenge clearly: only 48% of digital initiatives fully meet or exceed their intended business outcomes. Not because the solutions are poor, but because organisations continue to underestimate what it takes to drive meaningful behaviour shift at scale.
When that happens, the impact is predictable:
-
the business reverts to old ways of working
-
productivity dips quietly
-
frustration builds
-
leaders believe change is “done”… while performance says otherwise
A win for the kind of change management that actually moves the needle
“This double award is a strong validation of the work our team does every day,” says Anton Hingeston, Founder and Executive at Change Logic. “Innovation in change management is not about theory or frameworks alone. It’s about enabling people to adopt new ways of working so that transformation delivers real outcomes.”
That’s the part many organisations don’t see early enough: transformation is only valuable once new behaviours become normal.
Not when the comms plan is approved.
Not when training is completed.
Not when the project closes.
But when adoption sticks, and performance improves as a result.
What makes these awards significant (beyond the trophy moment)
The MEA Business Awards are now in their ninth year, recognising organisations across the Middle East and Africa that continue to drive meaningful innovation, leadership, and measurable progress, often in environments marked by complexity and constraint.
For Change Logic, these awards matter because they validate a very specific position we hold: Change is not a soft layer around transformation. It’s the mechanism that protects the ROI.
That’s what we’ve built our work around for more than two decades, helping organisations execute change with purpose, structure, and real behavioural results.
Change Management Innovators of the Year: moving beyond “surface-level transformation”
Being named Change Management Innovators of the Year 2025 reinforces Change Logic’s commitment to challenging traditional change approaches.
Because let’s be honest – in many organisations, “change management” gets reduced to:
-
comms plans
-
stakeholder maps
-
training sessions
-
weekly reporting
Those are tools. Not outcomes.
Real change management is what happens when:
-
people stop resisting because they understand and trust the direction
-
leaders stop delegating change and start owning it
-
the organisation builds traction instead of fatigue
-
new habits replace old shortcuts
That is where transformation either accelerates… or collapses under the weight of its own complexity.
Digital Transformation Innovation Award: where execution meets adoption
The Digital Transformation Innovation Award recognises something we see across industries: Transformation programmes stall after implementation far more often than they stall during it.
Organisations are typically good at funding transformation.
They are often less good at landing it.
That’s why our work focuses on connecting three things that are too often treated as separate streams:
-
strategy (what the business is trying to achieve)
-
technology (what is being introduced or replaced)
-
people (what must change for value to show up in reality)
That third one is not optional.
It’s the multiplier.
AMP: a different way of proving adoption — while there’s still time to act
One of the key differentiators behind Change Logic’s recognition is our Adoption Management Platform (AMP).
AMP was designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in transformation: sustained adoption that holds up under real operational pressure.
Unlike traditional change tools that focus mainly on templates, communications schedules, or consultant-led reporting, AMP is user-facing by design. It puts end users at the centre of the adoption journey, because that is where transformation either becomes real or quietly fails.
AMP enables organisations to:
-
guide users through role-based adoption journeys
-
support adoption through consistent micro-actions (not one-off interventions)
-
gain real-time visibility into adoption progress and risk
-
track behavioural indicators like:
-
confidence
-
ownership
-
readiness
-
ongoing engagement and traction
-
The point isn’t more dashboards.
The point is decision-grade insight: Are we seeing adoption early enough to protect operational performance and ROI?
This is what “innovation in transformation” looks like in 2026
“These awards reflect our focus on execution and impact,” says Bruce Turvey, Executive at Change Logic. “Digital transformation succeeds or fails based on adoption, and our work is centred on helping organisations bridge that gap.”
That’s the heart of our approach.Transformation isn’t a theatre of deliverables. It’s a business performance commitment.
And in 2026, the most competitive organisations will be the ones that can answer these questions quickly and honestly:
-
Are people adopting the change in the way we need?
-
Where is confidence declining – and why?
-
Which roles are stuck, overloaded, or unclear?
-
What must leaders do differently this month?
-
What adoption risk is building beneath the surface?
Let’s build transformation that holds up in the real world
Change Logic’s recognition places us among a select group of organisations shaping the future of business across the MEA region, and we remain committed to raising the benchmark for change execution and adoption-led transformation.
If you’re driving change and digital transformation in 2026, and you need to ensure the programme delivers value beyond implementation, we’d love to talk.
