What is Change Management?

Change management refers to a company’s procedures for describing and implementing change in both operations and functions. Change management is not just limited to a slight difference; it can be synced with an organizational change that may involve multiple stakeholders to drive that change.

Significant organizational change is difficult. It frequently involves many levels of collaboration and may entail multiple autonomous entities inside an organization. It’s vital to develop a planned strategy to change to achieve the organization’s objective.

There are usually 7 R’s of change management that every company follows before building a change management strategy. Here are those:

1. What is the REASON for the change?
2. Are there any RISKS in the requested change?
3. What RESOURCES are required to bring about the change?
4. Who RAISED the request for a change?
5. Is a RETURN from the change required?
6. Who is RESPONSIBLE for the change’s creation, testing, and implementation?
7. What is the RELATIONSHIP between the recommended change and the other changes?
