At it’s core, Change Management is a framework for helping yourself and others successfully transition from the current state to the future state.

The key elements are:

• Knowing what is changing (Strategic Change Analysis)

• Identifying who is affected by these changes (Stakeholders)

• Understanding how the stakeholders are going to be affected (Impacts)

• Designing, tracking, and measuring the effectiveness of interventions to support your stakeholders (Tactics)

It’s really having a plan, implementing the plan, measuring the effectiveness of your plan, and making changes when / if needed.
