Managing change

  • Controlling change

Description

Managing change involves systematically guiding individuals, groups, or organizations through transitions to achieve desired outcomes and minimize disruption. This strategy focuses on planning, communication, stakeholder engagement, and support mechanisms to address resistance, clarify objectives, and ensure smooth implementation. By anticipating obstacles and providing clear direction, managing change remedies confusion, reduces uncertainty, and enhances adaptability, enabling effective responses to evolving circumstances and the successful realization of new initiatives or improvements.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
