Change management is the disciplined approach to transitioning an organization’s goals, processes, or technologies by preparing and supporting individuals, teams, and leaders through the change process. It involves a systematic method of planning, implementing, and reinforcing organizational changes, aiming to minimize disruption and maximize the successful adoption of new systems, processes, or behaviors. Effective change management focuses on the “people side” of change, requiring clear communication, employee engagement, and a structured plan to align people with the vision for change.
