What is change management?

In its broadest sense, change management is the process of taking a group or organisation from one state to another in such a way that their attitudes and behaviours alter so that the new state successfully becomes the norm or 'sticks'. It can be used more specifically to describe a process of cultural change, normally associated with restructuring or business transformation, or as the process which runs alongside a large-scale software or service implementation to ensure users’ behaviour changes in line with the new technical capabilities. In an era of rapidly evolving technological change with artificial intelligence making its presence felt in every firm, the need to respond positively to change has never been more important.

What gets in the way of change?

Typically, 40% of any population of people prefer change and variety, 40% prefer things to stay the same and the remaining 20% don’t have a strong preference either way. People whose natural preference is for things to stay the same will tend to find change emotionally stressful
