What is Change Management?
Change management is a structured process and set of tools for leading the people side of change, to achieve a desired outcome.
It significantly aids an organisation to move from the current-state to the desired future-state by preparing and supporting employees, establishing the necessary steps for change, and monitoring pre- and post-change activities to ensure successful implementation.
Why do you need Change Management?
If you’ve ever been involved in a change at work, you’ll know that change can be disruptive, bumpy and costly. Change is inevitable but managing it effectively can make all the difference to the success of your projects or initiative.
Change management is critical for several reasons. It can help to:
Ensure a smooth transition from old to new, minimizing disruptions to your organisation
- Boost employee engagement in the change, which means they will buy-in to the change more, increasing the chance of the change being a success
- Mitigate risks associated with the change
- Build the adaptability and resilience of your organization
- Avoid costly mistakes
