Change Management

Change management is the structured approach to proactively manage the impacts of change both at an individual and institutional level. It incorporates strategies that help individuals and the organization make successful transitions and result in the adoption of change for desired outcomes. It's most effective when all objectives - institutional, technical, and human - are fully implemented and embedded in the institution.
