When I get asked to provide change management support on a project, my first question is always ‘what do you mean by change management?’. My definition of change management is driven by the need for an organization to realize its desired outcomes from a change. To do this you need solid project management – to prepare, implement, and evaluate the change AND you need transition plans to support people through the ending, exploring, and new beginning stages of transition. Together, these plans make up your change management plan.
In this short podcast I outline the steps to create a change management plan based on the Planning and Managing Conversations and the Engagement Conversations from my book - Talking Change: Must-Have Conversations for Successful Leaders.
