Change management consists of strategies and activities designed to support people as they transition through change. It uses specific tools and techniques to ensure changes within an organization are implemented efficiently and that benefits are fully realized.
Projects have varying degrees of impact from change and organizations have different levels of change capacity and maturity. It is important to determine the size and level of change before delivering a project, as it helps determine the most effective change tools and techniques. For example, at Operational Excellence, we use a Change Management Assessment Grid as part of our project prioritization process, to evaluate a unit’s change capacity against a project’s degree of change impact.
