A Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight
Corporate leaders are confronting a sobering reality. The majority of high profile transformation projects do not succeed. Studies spanning three decades reveal that nearly seventy percent of large scale business and technology initiatives fail to deliver their intended value. This widespread problem has enormous consequences for companies facing competitive threats and fast moving digital demands.
TRX Change LLC believes it has an answer. Founder Paula Schwartz is preparing to introduce the SCALE model in 2026, a structured approach designed to help companies transform with greater discipline, predictability and impact.
A Model Born From Real World Complexity
The SCALE model is the product of more than ten years of work spent inside complex transformations at major organizations including Chevron, Sysco Foods, Subway, the University of Texas and Lyondell Bassell. Through these engagements Schwartz recognized a recurring pattern: companies often underestimate the risk, culture shifts and operational strain associated with enterprise wide change.
The SCALE model gives leaders a framework to manage these challenges head on, combining project delivery rigor with practical change management. As Schwartz notes, transformation today is not optional. It is essential for staying competitive in an environment where technology, customer expectations and market forces evolve at record speed.
Leadership That Earns Trust
Schwartz is known for bringing military grade clarity and execution to corporate environments. Retired Marine Colonel Joe Dowdy once said of her leadership, “I would follow Paula into battle,” a quote that captures her operational mindset and commitment to delivering results.
Shaping the Next Era of Business Delivery
TRX Change provides tools and resources to help companies reduce risk, accelerate alignment and deliver meaningful outcomes. With the SCALE model set to debut in 2026, the company aims to help businesses rethink how they approach transformation at a time when failure is simply too costly.
