Change Management Defined
Change Management is the discipline of preparing people for and supporting them through a business, technical and/or organizational
change. The overarching goal is to achieve the desired level of organizational performance as soon as possible.

The lessons learned from previous projects as well as industry research highlights that training and
communication activities can address some of the people-related issues, however a broader range of activities
are necessary to drive the adoption of the new technology and processes.
The elusive “big gain”
Many companies launch big initiatives with the intention of “changing the entire company” but fail to see the returns
they expected
They start new programs and invest in technology, process, and organizational improvements and see some returns
but not the game changing, step function gains they had hoped for
The most often neglected ingredient to seeing the big gains is in people’s behaviors. Companies cannot
fundamentally change unless people change how they work

Change Management Engagement Model Overview
The process for engaging the Change Management Function begins with a business leader or HRBP contacting the Function lead,
who will assess intake to determine which change management services are needed. Business leaders, HRBPs, and / or the Function
Lead will then develop and implement the change management plan, with responsibilities varying depending on the level of services
required.

Change Management Capacity and Delivery Options
There is a continuum of change management capacity and delivery options that help determine how change management is provided
for various initiatives; the models below also influence which change management organizational structure are most effective for a
company.

Change Management Organizational Structure Options
There are multiple options for structuring a Change Management function. The best option is dependent on <XXXXX’S> needs. Since
the <XXXXX> Change Management team is leaning towards a Centralized (vs. a Decentralized) model, the following slides focus on
