What Is Change Management?

When we fol­low a good strat­e­gy, com­plete an impor­tant project, or install a new tech­nol­o­gy, we expect to real­ize its ben­e­fits. How­ev­er, many orga­ni­za­tions find that peo­ple are slow to adopt the improve­ments, or don’t adopt them at all. Change man­age­ment offers a struc­tured process for plan­ning, prepar­ing, imple­ment­ing, and mon­i­tor­ing suc­cess­ful change in an orga­ni­za­tion. Learn the sev­en com­mon rea­sons that change efforts fail and how change man­age­ment prac­tices address these causes.
