The Change Imperative Organisations in the public and private sectors are coming under increasing internal and external pressures to "do different".
The forces involved may include:
- Being part of a learning organisation, or a knowledge based culture
- Management teams which strongly support organisational development
- Critical external drivers imposing change
In any case we must undergo fundamental change in our working lives.
Managing Change Reactive change is painful, disturbing for individuals and distracting for the business. Change Management turns the challenge of reactive change into the opportunity of proactive change.
The Elements of Change Management
- We need models of how people and individuals behave in a changing environment
- We need to recognise the types of change we may trigger or react to
- We need to understand the process of change
- We need to consider how individuals change
- We need to be aware of the relationships between individuals and their team in order to achieve team change
- We need to appreciate how organisations work and change
- We need to grasp how leadership works and how we can lead change
- We need to apply these concepts and models to the practical types of change we face in the modern world
- We need tools for achieving and controlling change
Change Management, Programmes and Projects Change Management allows us to understand and model our change environment. But we also need to complement these overarching ideas with practical tools.
Programme management allows us to achieve change by organising, directing and implementing a portfolio of projects and activities that together achieve outcomes and realise benefits that are of strategic importance.
Project management enables us to set up temporary management environments to deliver business products that enable change.
