Organizational Change Management ensures that changes resulting from a new project are implemented smoothly, with minimal disruption to the business and its stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of proactive planning, effective communication, stakeholder engagement, and training to increase the probability of successful organizational change implementation and adoption.

New projects and IT initiatives affect people in how they work and conduct business. Organizational Change Management empowers people impacted by recent changes with training, engagement, and communications to embrace the change, driving positive desired behaviors, and embedding change into business as usual.
