LONDON - s4story -- 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."

Nine years of building the House

Since founding HOBA Tech in 2016, the company has grown from a methodology-led consultancy into a global training and product ecosystem, including:

• The Business Transformation Playbook (6-time Amazon bestseller), now stocked across UK and US retail stores, including major booksellers
• 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
