"Change can be difficult - but it doesn't have to be"

When experiencing growth, a merger or an acquisition, change of any kind can effect the organization. Most will feel the effects with concern. As a result, many will find normally smooth operations now more difficult. Implementing an effective transformation change management program in advance, for all situations that may occur, will ease some of the frustrations.

Communication is one of the key components to transform. Keeping the team aware of the ongoing changes in a strategically timely manner will allow the team to adjust while remaining productive.

Change is difficult for some and leadership acclimating to the change smoothly is another key component; educating leadership and management on how to approach the necessary issues is yet another.

There are several solutions to create a change management program. It's a necessary tool if the company plans to grow even in the smallest increments. Mergers and acquisitions or downsizing is also a part of the Change Management program and requires the same amount of attention to detailed communication to be successful. If done correctly, Change can be an amazing transformation!

I would be proud to develop, document, manage and implement a transformation change management program (including culture transformation) while participating in the program as an example to the team.
