What Is Organizational Change Management?

More About This Episode: Effective Organizational Change

We explore effective organizational change. Along with any ERP and/or organizational change effort, comes inherent risks. Risks may exist at the onset of a project or evolve over time during the ERP organizational change lifecycle. However, as we will discuss today as Dr. Canny states “Nevertheless, there are means to minimize such risks, whether preexisting, potential, or unforeseen.” 

These risks are countered in part through principle-based organizational change, advocating for appropriate organizational culture, effective change leadership, organizational learning, trust, and evidence-based inquiry.

We discuss these organizational change-based ideas and more.
