PRLog -- HOBA Tech has released its 2025 year-end review,
"2025: The Year the Business Transformation Ecosystem Moved," marking nine years of challenging an industry defined by inconsistent outcomes and a widely cited 70% failure rate.
"2025 wasn't just another year of transformation noise," said
Heath Gascoigne, Founder & CEO, HOBA Tech. "It was the year the ecosystem moved—credentials started to mean something, delivery became more outcome-focused, and AI accelerated both the opportunity and the risk. HOBA exists to bring structure to that complexity—so transformation becomes repeatable, measurable, and successful."

- A global practitioner footprint spanning tens of thousands of professionals and hundreds of organisations, including the UK Government
- Delivery of training and certification through the Certified HOBA Business Transformation Architect program
- Transformation outcomes across financial services, government, healthcare, and technology

- Digital Transformation CEO of the Year 2025 recognition (CEO Monthly)
