Change Management

Successful adaptation to change is as crucial within an organization as it is in the natural world. Just like plants and animals, organizations and the individuals in them inevitably encounter changing conditions. The more effectively organizations deal with change, the more likely they are to thrive.

Change management is a systematic approach to dealing with change, both from the perspective of an organization and on the individual level. A somewhat ambiguous term, change management has at least three different aspects, including: adapting to change, controlling change, and effecting change. A proactive approach to dealing with change is at the core of all three aspects.

Change management at the federal level involves aligning an agency’s organizational culture with new ways of doing business. An agency’s culture can be a difficult thing to get a handle on, however. Defined as "the underlying assumptions, beliefs, values, attitudes, and expectations shared by the members of an organization," organizational culture is comprised of the current human and political dynamics, as well as the agency’s history. This history not only reflects how the agency came to be, what it has accomplished, and how it has evolved over time, but it also mirrors more recent historical precedents and permutations. Agencies that have struggled with various financial management initiatives in the past may be resistant to new approaches. Getting people to see past their own fears—real or perceived—is a challenge of particular relevance to financial managers in the federal government. It requires a unique kind of leader—sometimes called a change manager or change "agent."

Change Management ensures that standardized methods and procedures are used to efficiently and promptly handle all changes, streamlining workflow and increasing productivity. This approach minimizes the impact of change-related incidents on your IT services, and on your business. For an organization, change management also means defining and implementing procedures and/or technologies to deal with changes in the business environment and to profit from changing opportunities.
