MOC Primary Industry Research Survey by Operational Sustainability, LLC

Management of Change (MOC) is perhaps the most difficult business process to embed in an organization. Organizations that take a holistic, integrated approach can potentially drive competitive advantages by leveraging learnings across the organization.

This survey is focused on benchmarking organizations on their existing MOC maturity. People who take part in this survey will receive a free copy of the report we generate from the survey results.
