mindsON RBQM | Episode 34: Change – Why 70% fail and how to succeed in Risk Management

Despite wide acknowledgment of the importance of Risk Management in clinical trials, implementation gaps persist. The draft ICH E6 (R3) guidelines place a strong emphasis on embedding risk-based thinking across all aspects of a trial from oversight to monitoring and data integrity. And yet, while 90% of organizations perform risk assessments, only 50% use Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and just 25% implement Quality Tolerance Limits (QTLs) despite QTLs being a requirement since 2016.

So why are these essential elements still missing from many processes?

The truth is, change is hard. Studies show that up to 70% of change initiatives fail, often due to resistance, unclear communication, or cultural misalignment. But failure isn’t inevitable.
