What is Change Management ?

Change is a constant in many of our lives. All around us; technologies, processes, people, ideas and methods often change, affecting the way we perform daily tasks and live our lives. Change management entails thoughtful planning and sensitive implementation, and above all, consultation with, and involvement of, the people affected by the changes. If you force change on people normally problems arise. Change must be realistic, achievable and measurable.
