People use business buzzwords, such as “Organizational Change Management,” but what does that truly mean, and why might you consider getting some assistance with it?
Change management is simply a detailed plan to prepare anyone impacted by a new organizational change (e.g., processes, policies, technology, programs, compensation) for that change.
Change management involves creating and executing against a well thought-out communication plan and developing structured and unstructured training plans.
Most strategic projects that fail do so either because they were poorly defined and planned or because there was not an adequate stakeholder change-management plan in place.
Vantage Point has developed and implemented change-management plans for organizations for large technology implementations and for operational process changes (e.g., change in recruiting and student retention processes). We understand the unique structure of higher education and what is required in a more consensus-driven organization.
If you are investing valuable resources in a project that will fundamentally change how a segment of your college’s constituents provide or receive services, don’t leave that transition to the future state to chance. Invest in Vantage Point’s Change Management services.
