Organization Change Management (OCM)
Today, organizational change is inevitable. Almost every organization goes through changes or transitions from time to time during its lifetime. These changes can have a significant impact on the business and its processes, the company output, the people, and other stakeholders. While in some cases, the impact can be negative, affecting the company’s reputation, profitability or sustainability, in other cases, the changes may result in greater efficiency, new customers, additional sales or new business opportunities. To survive in today’s business environment, it is necessary for the company to adapt to its external environment and maintain a steady growth trajectory. To effectively deal with change while minimizing its potential negative impact, a formal organizational change management process is required.
As part of Organization Development (OD), organizational change management (OCM) is a type of change management framework for managing the effect of new business processes, changes in organizational structure or cultural changes within an enterprise. Without an OCM framework and process, companies can struggle to adjust to change. This change effects their existing products, process, people and perception. Further, unexpected or unplanned changes can also lower employee morale and weaken the company culture.
Under its OD practice, GrowthSqapes through its deep knowledge and experience and robust frameworks gives advisory on OCM that enables a company to prepare for and adjust to change with minimal adverse consequences.
