A Decade of Lessons Turned Into a Breakthrough
Great ideas often emerge from years of navigating complex problems. That is true for Paula Schwartz, founder of TRX Change LLC, who spent more than a decade supporting transformational programs across global organizations. Those experiences led to a pivotal realization: companies consistently underestimate what it takes to change. The consequence is a staggering seventy percent failure rate across major transformation efforts.
Motivated to solve this pervasive challenge, Schwartz developed the SCALE model, an approach she plans to launch in 2026 to help companies transform with greater clarity, confidence and results.
When Change Becomes a Constant
Business transformation no longer signals innovation. It signals survival. Companies must evolve faster than ever to meet new customer expectations, adopt new technologies and navigate unprecedented disruption. Yet many organizations remain trapped in old delivery models not built for modern speed.
Schwartz saw firsthand how this disconnect creates risk and erodes value. The SCALE model is her response. It gives leaders a practical way to manage complexity, align teams and deliver measurable outcomes even in volatile environments.
The People Behind the Mission
Schwartz’s leadership reputation is one of discipline, courage and commitment. Retired Marine Colonel Joe Dowdy captured it best when he said, “I would follow Paula into battle.” It is a powerful endorsement that reflects how she approaches high stakes corporate work.
Her contributions span major companies including Chevron, Sysco Foods, Subway, the University of Texas and Lyondell Bassell. These experiences shaped the insights embedded in the SCALE model and prepared her to guide companies through their most critical transformations.
A Company Built for Impact
TRX Change offers project management and change management tools designed to reduce risk and improve success rates for complex initiatives. With the launch of the SCALE model approaching, the company is positioning itself to become a partner for leaders facing an uncertain and fast changing business landscape.
