Change Management
Corporate culture is the business equivalent of personality. When challenged, as when facing a merger or restructuring, an organization may react negatively or positively. Negative reactions resist changes; positive reactions accept the pain of change in order to find greater opportunities. Change Management is a multi-disciplinary science that whose final effect is to grease the skids of change. Not only is managing change more cost effective than battling employee resentments, it helps to preserve the character of the culture that built your organization in the first place. An investment in Change Management is an expression of your belief in the fact that the members of your team are more than fungible assets.
