Change management is a structured approach to transitioning individuals or organizations from the current state to the desired state. Companies stay ahead of the game when they think ahead about how they can manage the introduction, implementation, and consequences of major organizational changes. And, change management is a way in which an organization empowers its people to adapt to certain changes. For instance, if a team were to switch to a more cross-functional way of working, there would be technological and organizational changes to deal with. And, for this, a change management strategy would be imperative.
Change management is a systematic approach to dealing with the transition or transformation of an organization’s goals, processes or technologies. The purpose of change management is to implement strategies for effecting change, controlling change and helping people to adapt to change. Such strategies include having a structured procedure for requesting a change, as well as mechanisms for responding to requests and following them up.
