CM Course Background
Change Management is an emerging issue in all industries and organisations. It stands to deal with a broad scope of influences in order to manage change at all levels, from individual, team and organisational to leadership.
A professional approach to managing changes within the workplace is essential to ensure that potential changes to the project or deliverables are recorded, evaluated, authorised and managed successfully.
Change is an unstoppable force that is all around us and is happening all of the time. Organisations need to change in order to respond to changes in their environment, which are driven by customer demand, advances in technology or the requirements of new legislation, to name just a few of the reasons.
Charles Darwin, writing in the 19th century captured the essence of 21st century corporate life when he said “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
When we experience changes in our working environment our anxiety levels rise as we inevitably ask ourselves questions such as:
- Who will I be working with?
- Will they like me?
- Where will I be based?
- Will my working hours be different?
- Do I have the skills to do the job?
- Will others be better at the new role than me?
Even if we are in a position of leading the changes that are to be made, the situation will still be complex. In many cases we are responsible for managing our day to day work, and that of our colleagues, as well as scoping, developing and implementing the desired changes. As a result we can find our working hours increasing dramatically, feeling under great stress and having to provide reassurance and a positive attitude when interacting with those whose world we are changing.
