What Is Change Management?

Corporate change has been everywhere in 2023. High-profile layoffs dominated news headlines at the beginning of the year, including big names such as Twitter, Amazon, Deloitte, and more

Despite economic uncertainty, 2023 mergers and acquisitions were plentiful, including some with multibillion-dollar price tags. Especially in IT and tech and notable companies like Warner Music Group, Penguin Random House, and Adidas all ousted their CEOs in favor of new leadership. 

Organizational change comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, it looks like layoffs. Other times, it might look like a merger, a reorganization, or onboarding a new company-wide technology. 

Virtually every organization will, at some point, undergo a transition or change in order to remain viable and scale. And, if this year has taught us anything, having a good change management plan could be the difference between surviving and thriving. 

Find out how to build an effective change management strategy, including how to plan for change risk and leverage effective communication to make that strategy go further. Along the way, we’ll introduce you to three change management experts who can help you form your strategy.
