Term Project Management offers a Change Management service as a stand alone service or as an extension to a project management role.
Organisations change continually as a result of the constant interaction of their environment. Planned changes require explicit attention to problems and the opportunities.
Change Management and Organisational change involves the planning and management of change in a way that focuses on the involvement of the personnel in all aspects of the change process. Individuals change through education and experience. Individual learning does not necessarily lead to organisational learning. This is critical in the implementation of a project of this nature, as people who are affected by the change who ultimately determine the success or failure, and it is the cultural change which will have the greatest impact on them. If they are involved in the change process, there is a greater chance of them accepting the change, which will result in the cultural shift that will be necessary to ensure the change to new systems is optimised.
In order to mitigate this risk we need to consider the following key issues:
-Planning the change
-Conflict and resistance to change
-Overcoming the resistance
