Understanding that there are many distinct kinds of change management is the first step toward effectively managing change within an organization. The following are the three primary classifications:
Adapting to new changes
The concept of “developmental change” refers to the process by which an individual chooses to improve upon something rather than discard it due of its flaws. It’s likely that your marketing team is falling behind schedule, or that HR will need to keep a tight eye on the workforce for a time as the business readjusts to the new scenario. Either way, it’s important to stay on top of everything. It is absolutely necessary to maintain close watch over your team for a set period of time during these periods of transition.
Adjustment to new changes
It is common practice to manage both permanent and temporary change at the same time. Your company may find itself in a situation where it needs to implement new rules and processes at some point during its development. You will be in a better position to respond to such requirements if you keep an eye out for them and remain cautious during periods of change.
Major changes
Things tend to shift after a certain amount of time has passed during a transition. It is not unusual for a firm that is expanding to become aware of the necessity of introducing new policies and procedures. Keeping your wits about you during times of transition is extremely crucial so that you can respond quickly and effectively to any challenges that may arise.
What other kinds of change management do you frequently see taking place in the workplace? How consistent are you, or do you experience frequent shifts in personality? Try thinking of something that will most certainly change.
