Change is happening in any organization at any time. Change initiatives aim to improve performance, increase profits, and enhance competitive advantage, to implement technology for more flexible and mobile employees, to ensure quality and regulatory compliance, to transform customer experience. A common factor of any organization’s successful change management initiative are people. Organization change management practices have an impact on how individual people do their work: their processes, job roles, workflows, reporting structures, behaviors and even their identity within the organization.

Change management is a transformational approach to guide adoption and practice so that expected results and outcomes are delivered. Change management is needed to improve performance, close the gap between required and actual performance and results, increase success of objectives, avoid and reduce excessive risk and cost, decrease and eliminate chance, and proactively engaging and supporting the organization’s workforce.

To provide a better understanding of change management and some of the issues involved, the EIBFS RSD has prepared a Reader in Organizational Change Management, with a collection of articles focusing on the concept of change, on dealing with the various aspects of change management, on the role of leadership in environments of change, and on the transition process to change.
