| What is Change Management?
Change management is the use of a range of processes and professional specialties
aimed at successfully introducing change within organisations. Whereas pure
project management plots the course and timing of a “journey”,
change management makes sure the ship is pointing in the right direction.
These are not "soft skills" with merely
subjective outcomes: the results of successful change
management can be easily measured in the satisfaction
of customers, speed of delivery of a particular action
or service, or time to market. It’s a proactive
process, with success seen in hindsight: if an organisation
designs a programme of change, executes it, and measures
favourable outcomes, then it can be said that effective
change management has occurred.
Today’s Business Climate
Today, most businesses are facing more turbulent markets,
more demanding shareholders and more discerning customers,
and many, are restructuring to meet such challenges.
Businesses must deliver ever higher levels of quality
and service, at competitive prices. Quite often these
pressures necessitate changing how the organisation
operates – to inject a more commercial outlook,
to redefine roles, to eliminate unproductive work
habits, or to integrate a new technology to support
the business.
Does your company have the internal resources to meet
these challenges?
Are the forces of resistance holding your organisation
back?
Lateral Solutions - Overcoming Resistance
Resistance to change is natural. The very solidity
of habits, processes and structures – when
they’re competitive and productive – can
help strengthen an organisation. But when an organisation’s
current state impedes its ability to serve the customer,
to innovate for the future, or to capitalise on a
new initiative, change must happen, and fast.
If change management is distracting your managers,
if you need specialist skills for a critical change
initiative or if you have a change strategy but lack
the management manpower to deliver it, contact Lateral
Solutions for instant access to the outstanding change
managers you need.
