Change Management is not a one-time project, but an ongoing business capability. Change Management has a very wide scope and is a relatively new area of expertise: There seem to be areas of expertise around personal change, organizational change, project change, IT/technical change and some others. Good practice of organization/people change should be a full lifecycle approach, not a tag on at the end.

Managing change is no longer a one-time project, but an ongoing business capability. Change is inevitable, and organizational change becomes a common practice within an organization, but more than two-thirds of change effort fails to achieve the expected results. What’re the barriers to cause the change failures, and how to make Change Management tangible rather than fluffy? All changes require a cooling period.

Change is inevitable, organizational change has become a common practice within an organization, but too often changes are made as a reaction to outer impulses, crisis, and demands. A digital transformation is achieved via dynamic Strategy-Execution-Change lifecycle management, though it is not all linear steps, but an iterative, ongoing and upgoing change continuum. How to assess and improve change fit both at individual and organizational level.

But it takes people to make a dream a reality" ~Walt Disney Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent. Quality management is focused not only on product and service quality but also the means to achieve it. Quality management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality. When leadership is combined with knowledge, there is quality management.

Change becomes a dynamic business capability in which IT is the key enabler. Digital is all about CHANGE. Being agile means anticipating likely change and addressing it deftly, keeping business on course and customers satisfied. Digital technology is the business enabler and the powerful force beneath the change.

Besides on-time, on-budget, what KPIs do you think can best measure the effectiveness of IT portfolio management (PM) and project management processes to deliver business value? A more sensible approach would be to actually measure project results or benefits and establish what value was delivered. This will prepare management with the information it needs to align their investments to support the company strategy.

When one startling changes, information moves across the flock very quickly and with nearly no degradation. When one bird changes direction or speed, each of the other birds in the flock responds to the change, and they do so nearly simultaneously regardless of the size of the flock.

The goal for change is always to make improvement or innovations happen, and it's a progressive journey to keep business moving forward. Change is inevitable, but more than two-thirds of change effort fails to achieve the expected results. Too often top management says they need to change or selects a set of numbers relative to goals and then unleashes a fancy name program on the organization and says "Change”! Change needs to be human-centered.

While the need to focus on innovation in your product / service line is a real one, many organizations completely miss the need to look at process change to support these innovations. Jeffrey provides a good example in his article on why process change is needed. He writes: most product development processes do a poor job allocating resources and establishing priorities, and are bogged down with poorly defined projects and inadequate staffing levels.

Management has become an art out of necessity to address the current business relationship between the employee and organization. Management is about coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined objectives.

Agility is a measure of the ability to recognize, act and benefit from changing business circumstances. An agile business can do this, whilst competitors are still setting up change teams. Having technology which empowers business users to make changes to processes (within a control framework) without the need for expensive projects is an important aspect, but to be "agile", organizations need to focus on their business processes, and not operate in traditional silo structures.

Corporate principles are time and change tolerant statements about how an organization will behave. You may have different priorities behind which principle is #1 to a given decision, but be it a project, or hiring or locating a building, principles are invariant - unless you or your organization is schizophrenic. Such one thing alone does more to enable change than any amount of models, technology, projects, etc.
