Change Management Definition
Change Management is an organized, systematic application of the knowledge, tools, and resources of change that provides organizations with a key process to achieve their business strategy. Managed Change™ is the LaMarsh approach to change management and is designed to bring the organizational and people sides of change together - for results and benefits. Addressing the human elements of change by way of this disciplined approach will increase the speed of implementation of your change project and thereby decrease the cost.

Working through the Managed Change model, change agents identify the potential for resistance, why that resistance may occur, who could potentially be resistant, and the severity of that resistance.

To mitigate the risk to the change caused by that resistance, the change agents can then build communication, learning and reward system plans that accurately reflect the needs of the targets of change. They can, with this data, determine:

  • The risk to the change
  • The cost of mitigating that risk
  • The specific action steps required to reduce and/or eliminate the resistance
