Change Management 

Change management is the discipline that guides how we prepare, equip, and support individuals to successfully adopt a change to drive organizational success and outcomes. There are two major kinds of organizational change: change imposed by circumstances and change that is planned and adapted to encourage growth or improvement.

Characteristics of change in modern times:

1. Change is a process, not an event.
2. Change is normal and permanent.
3. The speed of change is increasing.
4. Change is natural if it is a result of internal development, and it is adopted if it takes place as a result of external conditions and pressure.
5. Change can be an order if it is carried out by the top management, or a participant if the people concerned are involved in its carrying out.
6. Change can be incremental or sudden.
7. The effect of change is not precisely predictable.
8. Change is unsystematic, and planned changes often need adjustments.
9. There is a relationship between the change and the organizational environment and culture.

What does change mean in general? We can see that every institution is part of an environment that is subject to both incremental and discontinuous change:

• Political – increased control from central government
• Sociological – the information age
• Educational – the mass HE system
• Technological – networking, computing, and telecommunications
• Organizational – new structures
• Economic – increased demand for value for money
• Cultural – changed norms and values

Change management is the process of identifying the need for change, deciding on what change is required, evaluating the implications of change, developing and implementing change programs, overcoming resistance to change, seeing that change takes place smoothly, and ensuring that the change is embedded and effective.

Other meanings of change management 

Change management is also regarded as the conception, planning, organization, implementation, control, and stabilization of the change process of a company, with the aim of maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of the change process and reaching the widest possible acceptance of managers and employees.

What we change means to somebody in a business:

1. New ways of doing work
2. New system or tools
3. New reporting structures
4. New job roles
5. New products or services
6. New markets or geographic locations.
