Change management is a critical competency for organizations in a competitive and rapidly globalizing business environment where change is the new normal. Organizations’ track record at managing change is not stellar. Emerging research suggests that change management is more effective and sustainable if managed internally as a function, using systematic approaches. Yet only about half of the organizations that participated in a recent Signal49 Research survey use formal methods and tools. Instead, most are heavily reliant on consultants with the result that energy dissipates and critical skills and knowledge are not retained. Human resources leaders that participated in the survey reported they are not as involved as they would like to be in the more strategic aspects of change management.
