More Description

Change management is an approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations to a desired future state. In a project management context, change management may refer to a project management process wherein changes to the scope of a project are formally introduced and approved. or the definition of change management defined on this page Theories about how organizations change draw on many disciplines, from psychology and behavioral science, through to engineering and systems thinking. The underlying principle is that change does not happen in isolation - it impacts the whole organization (system) around it, and all the people touched by it.In order to manage change successfully, it is therefore necessary to attend to the wider impacts of the changes. As well as considering the tangible impacts of change, it's important to consider the personal impact on those affected, and their journey towards working and behaving in new ways to support the change.Contents :List of Figures 61 Change Management 71.1 Introduction 71.2 Reasons for Change 71.2 Origins of Change Management 92 Concepts of Change Management 132.1 Lewin's Change Theory 132.2 Chin & Benne's "Effecting Changes in Human System" 132.3 Bullock and Batten's Phases of Planned Change 142.4 Beckhard and Harris change formula 162.5 7-S Model 16The Change Process 183.1 Initiating a Top-Down Change 183.2 Initiating a Bottom-Up Change 204 Change Management Projects 314.1 External and internal influences 314.2 Change strategies and approaches 344.3 Examples of failed change management projects 374.4 Pitfalls in a change management project 394.4 Bringing Change to Success 455 Conclusion - The 4C-Toolbox of Change Management 49
