What is Change Management? How do we recognise the need for change and make it happen?

Overview

Change Management is an enabling process which focuses on the people side of change and as a manager, you must understand why change is happening in your organisation.

To be effective you must be able to communicate the need for this change to either the strategic or to the delivery level of your organisation.  You must also be able to deliver this change to the satisfaction of both the strategic leadership and the delivery teams.

Leaders fit in with change by ensuring they make the best-informed decisions for their teams, by doing the ‘right thing’! Managers fit in with change by ensuring change works both for the leaders and those that deliver for an organisation, by doing ‘things right’!
