Change Management

As promised, let us look at the talk of the decade. Change Management is the buzz word at the moment and seems to have become our new normal! It forms a big part of the organisational development process. And deserves to stand on its own.

Organisational Development Intervention and Change Management goes hand in hand. In today’s world of work, change has become ingrained in everyday work functioning. While it may not be convenient or preferred, it has become a way of life and organisations will need to help their employees adapt or get left behind.

Simply put:

Change management is the practice of ensuring that people start adopting any new initiative. In a rapidly changing work environment not having a change management strategy or intervention may have dire consequences for your business.
