Change

Change is what people do when they can no longer continue with what was relevant before. It is a conflict of awareness followed by renewed thinking. Change is revolutionary and transformation is evolutionary. Change is driven by leaders and transformation directed by managers. In organizational sense, change, if accepted, initiates a process of conversion or transformation. The purpose of change is to bring a new state of relevance to consciousness. For example, when the world began to question the relevance of kings and Queens, a new consciousness dawned. This conflict of awareness between what was and what should be (according to our new thinking), brought about a new and (hopefully) sanctioned awareness. This could cause the topplement of such royalty. To bring about a new reality, there must be a process of growth and evolution. Since there is currently no system that can claim eternal existence, we must constantly change (revolutionize) to stay relevant. We bring about organizational change through insight, innovation, and influence.

 

About Change Management...

Change management (sometimes abbreviated as CM) is a collective term for all approaches to prepare , support and help individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. The most common change drivers include: technological evolution, process reviews, crisis, and consumer habit changes; pressure from new business entrants, acquisitions, mergers, and organizational restructuring. It includes methods that redirect or redefine the use of resources, business process, budget allocations, or other modes of operation that significantly change a company or organization. Organizational change management (OCM) considers the full organization and what needs to change, while change management may be used solely to refer to how people and teams are affected by such organizational transition. It deals with many different disciplines, from behavioral and social sciences to information technology and business solutions.In a project-management context, the term "change management" may be used as an alternative to change control processes where in changes to the scope of a project are formally introduced and approved.
