Change Management

Change Management - that's just another term for Project Management, right? Well no, not really. Many major projects involve change, there wouldn't be any point in doing them otherwise, but in most cases the role of Project Management is to ensure that the components of a project get delivered within schedule and budget, Project Management does not normally consider the environment into which the project is being delivered.

Change Management is about people and processes. A project may deliver wonderful new systems or products, but unless the business environment has been prepared to receive those, they will not be well accepted. The role of Change Management is to ensure that people are conditioned, ready and trained for the new world that ahead of them, with appropriate knowledge, understanding and business processes in place to cope when the change happens.

Very often a lack of Change Management is the primary cause of project failure, and in most cases the Change Management hasn't taken place because the leaders of the organisation cannot afford to devote the leadership time necessary to prepare people for the change - Change Management is a leadership discipline and in order to be successful needs to be executed by leaders.
