What is Change Management?
Significant changes to a business that affect processes, both external and internal, have a chance to fail. It may be something as
simple as investing in a new technology that doesn’t catch on or as complex as changing management style, leadership goals, or
social mores within the organization.
Any business that wants to implement change should also want to minimize the chances of that change failing. Change
management is the system wherein businesses do their due diligence to reduce the chances of that happening.

“Change management is defined as the methods and manners in which a company describes and implements change within both
its internal and external processes. This includes preparing and supporting employees, establishing the necessary steps for change,
and monitoring pre- and post-change activities to ensure successful implementation.” – ASQ

Change management is a detailed, structured process for implementing and reviewing significant changes to a business. It involves:

• Analyzing the current state of the business.
• Defining the change that needs to be made.
• Determining who the change will impact.
• Picking the people who need to buy-in and sponsor the change.
• Engaging with stakeholders and the people affected by the change.
• Developing a plan to implement the change.
• Building, promoting, and deploying a vision to encourage the change.
• Implementing the change itself.
• Monitoring the human factor throughout the transition.
• Adapting processes to the pressures of the human element.
• Modifying, looping, and iterating on the change to reach the desired new state.
• Cementing the new state as a new normal.

Depending on the size and scale of your business, you may want to handle this internally. However, many businesses do not have
the perspective or resources necessary to envision these changes properly. That’s where change management consulting comes
into play.

What is Change Management Consulting?
As you might expect, change management consulting is the process of outsourcing your change management to a third party.
“When companies want to implement significant changes to the operation of their business, they must take steps to ensure the
process is productive. Change management consultants can assist companies through this process to ensure that they transition in
an effective and efficient manner. The practice of change management consulting relies on several key components that all serve to
accomplish this goal. Some of the most important components include outlining a vision, involving senior leadership, developing a
change management plan, engaging stakeholders, creating supportive infrastructures, and properly measuring progress.”
