3 Change Management Benefits
Beyond the project’s success
When we talk about how to practice change management, we usually think about a communication plan, skills training, and role distribution.
Change is a lot more and affects everyone.
Change happens whether you realize it or not. People are going to use your project outcome. So you create a disturbance to the system. In a way, you aren’t only accountable for the content — the outcome — you generate but also for the evolution of the interactions between the parties.
You can influence the change responsibly considering more than the scope of your work.
Let’s see three key wins of proper change management.
1. Environment support
From the sponsors to the customers and end-users, everyone has their side of interest in your project.
Sponsor
Having sponsors that understand the purpose of the change, their role, and the resources required proactively lifts many of your impediments.
With highly engaged and visible sponsors, the team remains connected to the vision. You manage to focus on the forest and not the tree. The everyday struggles don’t escalate, as they mean little to the common end goal.
