Change management is a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. It involves planning, implementing, and monitoring changes to minimize resistance and maximize engagement. Effective change management ensures that changes are smoothly and successfully executed while maintaining productivity. The process typically includes several key steps: identifying the need for change, developing a change strategy, communicating the change, and providing support throughout the transition. By focusing on both the technical and human aspects of change, organizations can achieve their goals while fostering a positive environment for employees.
